kisi dard-mand ki hun sada kisi dil-jale ki pukar hun
jo bigad gaya wo nasib hun jo ujad gai wo bahaar hun

koi mujh pe phul chadhae kyun koi mujh pe shama jalae kyun
koi mere pas bhi aae kyun ki main hasraton ka mazar hun

bhala mujh pe dhaen to dhaen kya sitam ab zamane ki aandhiyan
main bujha hua sa charagh hun main mita hua sa ghubar hun

kahun kya hai kya meri zindagi ye hai zindagi koi zindagi
wo hai dushman-e-dil-o-jaan mera dil-o-jaan se jis pe nisar hun

shab-o-roz lab pe hai ai 'wafa' ye dua ki maut hi de khuda
jo yahi hai mere nasib mein ki asir-e-dam-e-bala rahun
