ganwa kar aan kuchh paya to kya hai
khudi ka git ab gaya to kya hai

kuchh aisi aandhiyan dil mein chali hain
wo is tufan mein ghabraya to kya hai

tani hai aasman pe kali chadar
diya ek raushni laya to kya hai

azab-e-akhirat ka khauf le kar
kisi ke kaam jo aaya to kya hai

mohabbat dar darichon se wara hai
zamin par ho rahe saya to kya hai

nawa-paira chaman mein bulbulen hain
khizan ka rang agar chhaya to kya hai
