sham-e-ummid gar nahin hoti
sham-e-gham ki sahar nahin hoti

hae na-qadri-e-jahan afsos
qadr-e-ahl-e-hunar nahin hoti

baat karte hain log barson ki
aur pal ki khabar nahin hoti

ek aisa bhi hai safar ki jahan
zindagi ham-safar nahin hoti

haq-pasandi mizaj ho jis ka
muflisi us ke ghar nahin hoti

zindagi ka na eatibar karo
zindagi mo'atabar nahin hoti
