har shab-e-gham ki sahar bhi hogi
zindagi hai to basar bhi hogi

wo zamana bhi kabhi aaega
dil ki jab dil ko khabar bhi hogi

dard kam-kam nahin afzun hoga
chashm pur-nam nahin tar bhi hogi

aatish-e-ishq jise kahte hain
wo idhar hai to udhar bhi hogi

zulm hi zulm na hoga aakhir
pyar ki ek nazar bhi hogi

main khata-kar-e-nazar hun lekin
ye khata bar-e-digar bhi hogi

kitne wo ahl-e-nazar hain jin ki
husn-e-mani pe nazar bhi hogi

jaane kya haal hamara hoga
jab mohabbat ki nazar bhi hogi

hum bhi honge tera gham bhi hoga
shab bhi aaegi sahar bhi hogi

jalwa-e-ghuncha-o-gul bhi hoga
shokhi-e-barq-o-sharar bhi hogi

azm bebak safar bhi hoga
rah pur-khauf-o-khatar bhi hogi

har aziyyat hi muqaddar hai agar
dasht to dasht hai ghar bhi hogi

bach rahi aaj hawadis se agar
har kali kal gul-e-tar bhi hogi

ranj rahat mein badal jaega
khair dar-parda-e-shar bhi hogi

kuchh sitare bhi darakhshan honge
kuchh meri gard-e-safar bhi hogi
