is gham ko gham kahen to kahen sau mein hum ghalat
barson tumhaare gham se kiya hum ne gham ghalat

kahna ye tum se hai ki falak darmiyan na ho
rasm-e-sitam durust hai tarz-e-sitam ghalat

kis ko tere itab ki duniya mein tab hai
dam ki koi kahe to ghalat ek dam ghalat

insan ka hawa pe madar-e-hayat hai
kya zindagi mein jaan hai dam ka bharam ghalat

wo bhi khiram-e-naz se bhula hai chaukdi
karta hai ab to aahu-e-sahra bhi ram ghalat

'natiq' khayal-e-ishq baja fikr-e-aish rast
kis wahm mein pada hai ye donon baham ghalat
