jo hamara sharik-e-haal raha
us ka har dam hamein khayal raha

be-niyazi thi har ada un ki
pyar apna magar bahaal raha

hum na ghabrae hadson se kabhi
takiya-e-rabb-e-zul-jalal raha

aah mehnat-kashon ki majburi
rozi roti ka hi sawal raha

ho gai shahkar har takhliq
ru-ba-ru jab tera jamal raha

rah-e-manzil hui bahut aasan
ham-safar jab bhi ham-khayal raha

jis ne chaha na dil se apnon ko
zindagi bhar wo pur-malal raha

pai mearaj-e-zindagi us ne
fikr-o-fan mein jo ba-kamal raha

hum ne man-maniyan na kin 'nayyar'
aal-o-aulad ka khayal raha
