gila kyon ho mili hum ko wafa kam
zamane se hamin the aashna kam

khushamad kam talab kam iltija kam
wirasat mein hamein ye sab mila kam

bayan karta phirun haal-e-gham-e-dil
meri aadat mein ye shamil raha kam

buton wale buton se dar rahe hain
khuda walon ko hai khauf-e-khuda kam

mere daman pe hain jin ki nigahen
wo shayad dekhte hain aaina kam

kabhi main panw phaila kar na soya
mere qad se rahi meri rida kam

zaban par 'ehtisham' aaya to un ki
hua to kuchh dilon mein fasla kam
