is daur mein to main bhi bada khush-nasib tha
jis daur mein huzur wo mere qarib tha

un ke kharidne se hi anmol main hua
warna to main huzur bada hi gharib tha

aakhir mujhe hi marna pada rah-e-ishq mein
sab se bada to us ka miyan main raqib tha

mujh ko na chhod mere rafiq ab yun rah mein
pahle hi bol deta agar main ajib tha
