sarasar khajlat-o-sharmindagi hai
hamari bhi bhala kya zindagi hai

sada koi raha hai ne rahega
usi ki zat ko paindagi hai

khayal-e-khub-ruyan kyunke chhote
tabiat mein meri khwahindagi hai

nazar apni bhi wan ja hi pade hai
jahan aaraish o zebandagi hai

ghazal-khwani kar ab ai 'mushafi' tark
hua qad kham ye waqt-e-bandagi hai
