hausle jine ke dil ko bebasi deti rahi

hausle jine ke dil ko bebasi deti rahi
aarzu pazhmurdagi ko tazgi deti rahi
main ne apne aage un ko sar uthane na diya
hadson ko mat meri sar-kashi deti rahi


rah gaya main naz-bardari mein us ki umr bhar
zindagi mujh ko fareb-e-zindagi deti rahi
khun-e-dil deta raha main sham-e-hasti ko sada
aur ye auron ko apni raushni deti rahi


ek taraf deti rahi mujh ko ajal apna payam
ek taraf aawaz mujh ko zindagi deti rahi
gir pade qadmon pe aa ke taj shahon ke 'zahir'
ye waqar aur shan azmat sadgi deti rahi
