sharik-e-dard duniya mein badi mushkil se milta hai
duaen jo dawa se dil ka mara dil se milta hai

fareb-e-asman ghurbat ki raaten dekhte jao
ki har tara charagh-e-sarhad-e-manzil se milta hai

na jaane ruh kis nakaam ki maujon mein bekal se
safina dagmaga jata hai jab sahil se milta hai

tumhein to qadr karni chahiye thi apne aashiq ki
giraate ho nazar se tum use jo dil se milta hai

'hayat' un ka zamana hai wo jo chahen sitam dhaen
magar aashiq bhi mujh jaisa badi mushkil se milta hai
