maal-e-ashiqi hai apni hasti se guzar jaana
kamal-e-zindagi hai maut se pahle hi mar jaana

kalisa se gharaz mujh ko na matlab dair-o-kaba se
jabin ne meri har zarre ko tera sang-e-dar jaana

zamana us ki qismat par hamesha naz karta hai
mayassar ho jise mahbub ke kuche mein mar jaana

wo bazm-e-ghair mein jaane lage hain shauq se jaen
magar turfa-sitam hai mere kuche se guzar jaana

'kamal' un ki ayaadat ek qayamat kar gai barpa
shikan mathe pe padna aur mariz-e-gham ka mar jaana
