mumkin nahin hai apne ko ruswa wafa kare
duniya-e-be-sabaat ki khatir dua kare

nur-e-wajud aur agar hausla kare
sham-e-hayat jal ke bhi kuchh lau diya kare

mar mar ke koi kab talak aakhir jiya kare
kyun har nafas se zist ke tane suna kare

jab koshish-e-tamam bhi rah jae na-tamam
ai hasil-e-hayat bata koi kya kare

jo gham nasib-e-yar ho khud apni zist par
kab tak nigah-e-naz ka wo aasra kare

hai aalam-e-wajud pe chhaya hua jumud
ai kash inqalab koi faisla kare

ab aarzu yahi hai dam-e-naza ai 'wafa'
ghair-az-khuda na yaad rahe kuchh khuda kare
