shayad nasib bosa-e-na'lain-e-yar ho
jo khak ho to khak-e-sar-e-rahguzar ho

sahra ho sehn-e-bagh ho ya kohsar ho
saqi jahan pilae wahin par bahaar ho

hum khak ho gae pa kudurat nahin gai
yarab kisi ke dil mein na yun bhi ghubar ho

ulfat hai ghair ki to suno tum na mera haal
rahm aa hi jaega tumhein nafrat hazar ho

mayusiyon pe bhi na hua mail-e-sukun
aisa bhi dil kisi ka na parwardigar ho

sab jaanta hun hazrat-e-naseh pa kya karun
dil par karun main jabr agar ikhtiyar ho

yun to khabar hai aamad-e-fasl-e-bahaar ki
lekin nasib mein bhi to lutf-e-bahaar ho

'bekhud' ki be-khudi bhi hai tere khayal mein
teri khudi nahin ki taghaful-shiar ho
