par-e-jibril bhi jis rah mein jal jate hain
hum wahan se bhi bahut dur nikal jate hain

mahfil-e-dil ko hai mange ke ujale se gurez
dip daghon ke sar-e-sham hi jal jate hain

saf ud jata hai khasan-e-kharabaat ka rang
hum wo mai-khwar hain pi pi ke sambhal jate hain

ek haqiqat hi haqiqat hai azal ho ki abad
waise afsanon ke unwan badal jate hain

dekhiye naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa-e-wafa ka eajaz
raste dudh ke manind ubal jate hain

zindagi asl mein tamir-e-mohabbat hai 'hayat'
de ke hum dahr ko paigham-e-amal jate hain
