na to dil ka na jaan ka daftar hai
zindagi ek ziyan ka daftar hai

padh raha hun main kaghzat-e-wajud
aur nahin aur han ka daftar hai

koi soche to soz-e-karb-e-jaan
sara daftar guman ka daftar hai

hum mein se koi to kare israr
ki zamin aasman ka daftar hai

hijr tatil-e-jism-o-jaan hai miyan
wasl jism aur jaan ka daftar hai

wo jo daftar hai aasmani-tar
wo miyan ji yahan ka daftar hai

hai jo bud-o-nabud ka daftar
aakhirash ye kahan ka daftar hai

jo haqiqat hai dam-ba-dam ki yaad
wo to ek dastan ka daftar hai

ho raha hai guzishtagan ka hisab
aur aaindagan ka daftar hai
