hum to har gham ko jahan ke gham-e-jaanan samjhe
jab badha nashsha to hum baada-e-irfan samjhe

jo bahaaron ko sahar-kari-e-dauran samjhe
zindagani ko wahi khwab-e-pareshan samjhe

fikr-e-ijad-e-sitam mein wo jhukae the jabin
hum unhen apni jafaon pe pasheman samjhe

kha gaya ek jahan mere tabassum ka fareb
jo meri tarah pareshan the pareshan samjhe

hum ne shikwa na kiya 'shauq' kisi se gham ka
apni taqdir ko apne se gurezan samjhe
