saghar-e-sifalin ko jam-e-jam banaya hai
phail kar mere dil ne main ko ham banaya hai

ham-safar banaya hai ham-qadam banaya hai
waqt ne mujhe kitna mohtaram banaya hai

naz hai khalili ko husn-e-naqsh-e-sani par
garche aazari hi ne ye sanam banaya hai

be-kasi-e-dil apni dur ki hai yun main ne
dusron ke gham ko bhi apna gham banaya hai

zindagi ki mausiqi kya hai hum samajhte hain
saz ke talawwun ko zer-o-bam banaya hai

zulf ki tarah is ko bas sanwarte rahiye
zindagi ko fitrat ne kham-ba-kham banaya hai

main ne zarre zarre ko muskurahaten di hain
tum ne har sitare ko chashm-e-nam banaya hai

muddai-e-jiddat hai teri fikr ai zahid!
mai-kade ki inton se kyun iram banaya hai

but hazaron tode hain kitne tukde jode hain
zindagi ne jab ja kar ek sanam banaya hai
