mausam-e-khar ya bahaar mein hai
zindagi tere ikhtiyar mein hai

jit kar ye mujhe hua ehsas
zindagi ka maza to haar mein hai

pyar ki baaten log bhul gae
ab har ek shakhs intishaar mein hai

ab kisi par yaqin ho kaise
jis ko dekho wo lut-mar mein hai

aaj kah dena tum 'salim' us se
jo bhi is qalb-e-be-qarar mein hai
