kuchh to taskin-e-iztirab mile
wo nahin milte to sharab mile

main samandar mein bhi raha pyasa
aab mein bhi mujhe sarab mile

munh lagi chhutti nahin wa'iz
ab jo milna hai so 'azab mile

chum lun main waraq waraq us ka
tere chehre se jo kitab mile

zindagi zindagi si lagti hai
aap jab se hamein janab mile

kaun ta'bir ki kare chinta
phir se koi hasin khwab mile

din 'ibaadat mein ho guzar yarab
waqt-e-maghrib magar sharab mile

ya-khuda dil mile shajar jaisa
gham jo mujh ko hain be-hisab mile

khul ke rona bhi kab nasib hua
phir na ye hasti-e-habab mile

dil ke nikle gharib sab ke sab
hum ko jo sahab-e-nisab mile

kuchh to pahle hi dar-ba-dar tha 'sada'
dost bhi khanuman-kharab mile
