gardish-e-jam nahin gardish-e-ayyam to hai
sai-e-nakaam sahi phir bhi koi kaam to hai

dil ki betabi ka aakhir kahin anjam to hai
meri qismat mein nahin dahr mein aaram to hai

mail-e-lutf-o-karam husn-e-dil-aram to hai
meri khatir na sahi koi sar-e-baam to hai

tu nahin mera masiha mera qatil hi sahi
mujh se wabasta kisi taur tera nam to hai

halqa-e-mauj mein ek aur safina aaya
sahil-e-bahr pe kohram ka hangam to hai

tang-dasto tahi-damano karo shukr-e-khuda
mai-e-gulfam nahin hai shafaq-e-sham to hai
