jal ke rakh hone ki koshishen nahin hotin
der-pa bahut dil ki khwahishen nahin hotin

khud-ba-khud hi khulte hain dil mein phul khushiyon ke
dil ko shad rakhne ki kawishen nahin hotin

dost bhi safon mein hain aur apne dushman bhi
kaamyab phir kaise sazishen nahin hotin

takht-o-taj mange se kab kisi ko milta hai
dil ki baadshahi mein bakhshishen nahin hotin

ek justuju dil ko muztarib si rakhti hai
be-sabab to qismat ki gardishen nahin hotin

haal apna aa ke khud wo hamin ko batlaen
hum se un ki ja ke to pursishen nahin hotin

moajizon pe zinda hain aur duaen karte hain
hijraton ke mausam mein barishen nahin hotin
