pahle hi bar-e-dosh hain sar bhi gae to kya
jaanan hum apni jaan se guzar bhi gae to kya

jina mataa-e-khwesh na marna ata-e-ghair
jite rahe to kya hai jo mar bhi gae to kya

dil khun hai ek tark-e-mohabbat ke dagh se
ruswaiyon ke dagh utar bhi gae to kya

mitti mein eatibar-e-numu dhundhta hun main
baadal hawa ke sath bikhar bhi gae to kya

shabnam se apni pyas bujhati hain khetiyan
dariya samundaron mein utar bhi gae to kya

tughyaniyon ki zad mein thikane sabhi ke hain
kashti dubo ke par utar bhi gae to kya

ghar mein tha ehtiyaj ka daftar khula hua
daftar ki khak chhan ke ghar bhi gae to kya
