mere khulus ka jab aap ko khayal nahin
mujhe bhi tark-e-talluq ka kuchh malal nahin

hain zakhm-e-shauq meri zindagi ka sarmaya
hun mutmain ki mujhe fikr-e-indimal nahin

hawadisat-e-zamana meri zarurat hain
qadam qadam pe mile hain ye khal-khal nahin

mile jo khak mein sarsabz ho wahi dana
hai paemal wahi jo ki paemal nahin

tu khak hai teri azmat hai khaksari mein
zawal us ka muqaddar jise zawal nahin

har ek gam ujala har ek qadam sae
jahan-e-gham mein koi hadisa muhaal nahin

nasib hota koi gham to jagti qismat
kisi ko us se to 'nashad' qil-o-qal nahin
