karun kya sakht mushkil aa padi hai
meri dahliz par chahat khadi hai

maqam-e-zabt hai ai dil sambhalna
judai ki ghadi sar par khadi hai

rasai kab dilon tak pa saki wo
mohabbat jo kitabon mein padi hai

shikasta hain mere aasab yun bhi
ana se jang ek muddat ladi hai

kai din se barahna mere dil mein
talluq ki koi mayyat padi hai

use milna bhi hai qaid-e-musalsal
judai ki bhi apni hathkadi hai
