khizan mile ki hamein mausam-e-bahaar mile
yahan wo dil hi nahin hai jise qarar mile

tamam umr ibaadat ki nazr kar dalun
bas ek bar tabiat pe ikhtiyar mile

hamin ko tark-e-talab ras aa gai warna
tere karam ke ishaare to be-shumar mile

sada rahe hain muqaddar ke ikhtiyar mein hum
kabhi hamein bhi muqaddar pe ikhtiyar mile

tamam log samajhte the tum na aaoge
tamam log magar mahw-e-intizar mile

rahe kisi ki nigahon mein ghair hi 'ishrat'
hum ek bar mile ya hazar bar mile
