mujhe bhi ya-rab faraghat-e-mah-o-sal dena
kabhi mere dil ke hausle bhi nikal dena

ye gham ki lambi andheri shab kis tarah kategi
ufuq pe dil ke koi kiran to uchhaal dena

jo roz o shab ke nasib mein be-dari hai likhni
na khwab dena na dil mein shauq visal dena

kabhi agar tum hawao dasht o jabal se guzro
to un ki mahrumiyon ko meri misal dena

ye zindagi kya mere azaem ka sath degi
mujhe kuchh is se bhi badh ke kar-e-muhaal dena

wo dil ki chahat khulus ki baiaten kahan hain
nai kahani se sab ye baaten nikal dena
