kabhi nasib ki bhule se bhi sahar na hui
baghair hasrat-o-gham zindagi basar na hui

sahar qarib hai sham-e-hayat bujhti hai
dayar-e-ghair mein yaron ko hi khabar na hui

tumhein qarib se dekhta to khud ko pahchana
shua-e-hasrat-e-dil hum pe be-asar na hui

kahan kahan na hui dastan-e-dil ruswa
wo ku-ba-ku na hui ya ki dar-ba-dar na hui

mariz-e-ishq ka to is qadar fasana hai
dawa ho ya ki dua koi kargar na hui

uthain tohmaten hum ne jahan-bhar ki magar
zara si bhul ki bhi tum se darguzar na hui

agarche mai-kada mein tishnagi ghazab ki thi
hamare waste hi mehrban nazar na hui
