jaan-e-sukhan bhi muddaa-e-ruh bhi
wo shakhs hai maddah bhi mamduh bhi

zauq-e-tamanna se tere sarshaar dil
tir-e-taghaful se magar majruh bhi

dil ko aziyyat de ke yun sarkash na ho
tufan na le aae kahin ye nuh bhi

andher hai mal-e-ghanimat jaan kar
luti gai hai ismat-e-maftuh bhi

kis khanaman-barbaad mein phunka hamein
ye sochti hogi hamari ruh bhi
