ham-nashinon mein hamara ham-nawa koi nahin
aashna to hain bahut dard-ashna koi nahin

ai masiha maut se kar zindagani ka ilaj
ho rahe wo ghair ke ab aasra koi nahin

but-kade se chhut kar aisa hue be-khanuman
jaise zer-e-asman mera khuda koi nahin

khud-numai mein bhi wo mahbub hai mastur hai
dekhte hain sab magar pahchanta koi nahin

burrish-e-tegh-e-ada-e-dost ka ehsas hai
ab rahin-e-minnat-e-tir-e-qaza koi nahin

hai teri mashq-e-sitam ka rang agar yunhi to phir
dekha lena ek din tere siwa koi nahin

puchhte hain muddaa mujh se adu ke samne
muddaa ye hai ki kah dun muddaa koi nahin

ba-wafa itni jafa par kaun hai mere siwa
tujh se badh kar bad-guman ai bewafa koi nahin

badh gaya hai aaj kal jaur-e-butan kuchh is qadar
dast-gir-e-bandagan goya khuda koi nahin

le ke bar-e-zindagi kab tak koi phirta rahe
rahzan hi lut le jab rahnuma koi nahin

jaan kar 'bekhud' hua khud dushman apni jaan ka
phir gila kyun doston se hai mera koi nahin
