maut se bad-tar hain jine ki kasak jati nahin
khali paimane hue lekin khanak jati nahin

har nizam-e-taza ke khaliq ko lae dar tak
aaj tak duniya ke logon ki sanak jati nahin

raqs karti hai hawa mein ai meri wahshat magar
ashk ban kar kyon in aankhon se tapak jati nahin

doston ki chutkiyan bhi qabil-e-tahsin hain
zakhm bhar jate hain tasir-e-namak jati nahin

khaka-e-hasti hua be-rang imkan kho gae
phir bhi aankhon se umidon ki dhanak jati nahin

yunhi bar-awar nahin hota tamanna ka shajar
aise hi chadar tere sar se dhalak jati nahin
