gardishon se yun ubhar jaane ko ji chahta hai
sham se pahle hi ghar jaane ko ji chahta hai

tum ko rakhna hai rakho tark-e-talluq ka bharam
mera wade se mukar jaane ko ji chahta hai

mulk-o-mazhab ke qawanin to sar aankhon par
ishq mein had se guzar jaane ko ji chahta hai

farsh-e-duniya pe main muddat se jiya hun ab to
chand-taron se guzar jaane ko ji chahta hai

baad marne ke mujhe yaad rakhe ye duniya
kaam kuchh aise bhi kar jaane ko ji chahta hai

zindagi di hai usi ne wahi marega magar
in dinon yun hai ki mar jaane ko ji chahta hai

bin bulawa main kabhi 'nazr' na jata hun kahin
bazm hai un ki magar jaane ko ji chahta hai
