kisi ne kah di koi baat haq malum hota hai
tabhi chehre ka tere rang faq malum hota hai

sahifa zindagani ka bahut aasan nazar aaya
magar jab padhne baithun to adaq malum hota hai

jahan ke daftar-e-gham ki haqiqat hi hai kya wo to
hamare dard-e-dil ka ek ramaq malum hota hai

haqiqat mein lahu hai wo shahidan-e-mohabbat ka
kanar-e-charkh jo rang-e-shafaq malum hota hai

nami hai aansuon ki khun-chakan alfaz hain sare
ye meri hi kahani ka waraq malum hota hai
