mauja-e-gham mein rawani bhi to ho
kuchh jigar ka khun-pani bhi to ho

ranj surat ke badal jaane ka kya
koi shai duniya ki fani bhi to ho

gham mein rafta rafta masti aaegi
kuchh dinon ye mai purani bhi to ho

kijiyega sun ke kya rudad-e-gham
kya kahun koi kahani bhi to ho

kya taqabul meri jaulani se 'zeb'
koi dariya mein rawani bhi to ho
