khabar nahin ki zamin hain ki aasman hain hum
khabar nahin ki bhanwar hain ki baadban hain hum

na zad-e-rah na himmat na manzil-e-maqsud
na jaane kaunsi manzil ke karwan hain hum

chaman mein rah ke bhi rang-e-chaman se hain mahrum
bahaar hain ki khizan hain ki gulsitan hain hum

pila sharab utha saz-e-dil ke tar hila
abhi shabab ke din hain abhi jawan hain hum

kashakash-e-gham-e-hasti se gar mile fursat
jahan ko hum bhi dikha denge ba-zaban hain hum

jahan ko apni nazar se gira diya hum ne
khud apne haal mein poshida ek jahan hain hum

hamein na hasrat-e-duniya na hasrat-e-uqba
khud apne panw ke mitte hue nishan hain hum
