ranj yun rah-e-masafat mein mile
kuchh kamae kuchh wirasat mein mile

khwab tak mein aaj-kal risne lage
zakhm hum ko jo haqiqat mein mile

ab nahin hai tab dil se milne ki
kya pata wo kaisi haalat mein mile

ek duje se raqabat thi jinhen
ek duje ki hirasat mein mile

jo andheron mein na shaista rahe
wo ujalon se khajalat mein mile

falsafe jo na sadaqat mein mile
wo sabhi hum ko zarurat mein mile

is dafa to zindagi jaldi mein thi
kah do agli bar fursat mein mile
