kah rahi hai wo nazar hanste raho
bhul kar aib-o-hunar hanste raho

ho ke khud se be-khabar hanste raho
shokhi-e-taqdir par hanste raho

gham-zada rahne se kuchh hasil nahin
zindagi hai mukhtasar hanste raho

tum pe ab ungli na utthegi koi
hansne walo be-khatar hanste raho

is sadi ka koi mustaqbil nahin
ahl-e-fan ahl-e-nazar hanste raho
