har nafas minnat-kash-e-alam hai
zindagi shayad isi ka nam hai

ek aansu aur wo bhi sarf-e-zabt
kya yahi ummid ka anjam hai

sarguzasht-e-ishq afsana nahin
zinat-e-unwan tera nam hai

husn ki tafsir bhi kuchh kijiye
ishq be-shak ek khayal-e-kham hai

ishq ki be-tabiyan hoshiyar hon
ahl-e-dil par zabt ka ilzam hai
