halak-e-ghamza-e-baatil nahin hai
mere sine mein aisa dil nahin hai

nahin hai ek sukun-e-dil nahin hai
wagarna kya mujhe hasil nahin hai

zamane ki masihai se hasil
wahi jab chaarasaz-e-dil nahin hai

yahi kahta hun dil se har qadam par
are zalim yahi manzil nahin hai

wo aisa kaun sa aansu hai jis mein
mera khun-e-jigar shamil nahin hai

mohabbat se koi dekhe to dekhe
ki dil hai kasa-e-sail nahin hai

rahin-e-gham sahi 'hairat' magar dil
charagh-e-kushta-e-mahfil nahin hai
