khabar sunte to hain us sang-dil ke dil mein aane ki
khuda malum kya surat bane aaina-khane ki

na jaane khak ho jaane ki lazzat kab mayassar ho
abhi to ek muddat se hai khidmat khak udane ki

zamin-o-asman kuchh hon to ho pasti bulandi bhi
yahan to roz kaifiyyat badalti hai zamane ki

sahaara ishq-e-zor-awar ne khud hi de diya warna
kahan hum aur kahan taqat ye koh-e-gham uthane ki

fana-ahang shayad saz-e-hasti se baramad ho
ki aati hai sada tar-e-nafas se jhanjhanane ki
