khud-faramoshi mein khayal kahan
main kahan hasrat-e-jamal kahan

na wo aansu hain aur na wo aahen
ab wo agla sa apna haal kahan

dil-e-wahshi ne sar uthaya hai
dur-andeshi-e-maal kahan

gham-e-duniya mein sar hai sargardan
ab wo nairangi-e-khayal kahan

ahd-e-rafta ko bhulna achchha
wo zamana wo mah-o-sal kahan

ho shikayat kisi se na-mumkin
ye jasarat kahan majal kahan

kis tarah dastan-e-gham kahe
koi pursan-e-arz-e-haal kahan
