hum un se chhut ke yun zindagi ke sath rahe
ki jaise koi kisi ajnabi ke sath rahe

bade maze ki hai donon ki dastan-e-hayat
hum un ke sath rahe wo khudi ke sath rahe

us anjuman mein jahan sab harif-e-ulfat the
hum ahl-e-ishq badi bebasi ke sath rahe

jahan jahan main gaya wo wahan wahan mere sath
rahe zarur magar be-rukhi ke sath rahe

tere karam ke teri iltifat ke jalwe
mere jahan mein nihayat kami ke sath rahe

wahi samajhte the mafhum-e-zindagi shayad
ba-qaid-e-hosh jo diwangi ke sath rahe

mataa-e-ishrat-e-be-nam ki talab mein 'nihaal'
ghamon ke shahr mein bhi hum khushi ke sath rahe
