har gham ko yun to zabt kiye ja raha hun main
is gham ko kya karun ki jiye ja raha hun main

lo sath de chuki shab-e-hijran ka zindagi
ab sham-e-gham ko sath liye ja raha hun main

han aankh tar nahin magar aansu kahan se aaen
hamraaz khun-e-dil to piye ja raha hun main

kaisa sukun ki dil bhi to hai dafn mere sath
ye saz-e-iztirab liye ja raha hun main

bhar bhar ke de raha hai falak talkh jam-e-gham
kya zauq hai bala ka piye ja raha hun main

han pa-e-sabr thak gae lekin idhar to dekh
ab sajda-e-ha-e-shukr kiye ja raha hun main

'mani' ye sozan-e-nafas-o-rishta-e-wafa
lab-ha-e-shikwa-sang siye ja raha hun main
