jinhen hum zindagani mein sada dil mein basate hain
na jaane kyon hamein wo khun ke aansu rulate hain

khuda ka wasta hai ab to aa ja mere maskan mein
ki tera rasta hum apni palkon se sajate hain

mahaz-e-ishq mein dushwariyan to sab ko milti hain
magar jo hon qadam sabit wahi manzil ko pate hain

na jaane kitne ghar sailab ne gharqab kar dale
ajab hain log phir bhi ghar lab-e-sahil banate hain

hayat-o-marg jin ke nam hum ne apni kar dali
saza wo qatl hone ki sar-e-mahfil sunate hain

chhupa kar ashk aankhon mein 'hira' ab sochti hun ye
nahin hoti hain jab jaen to dukh kis ko sunate hain
