shikwa-e-beja ki kya un se shikayat hum karen
kuchh to hain pahle hi barham aur kya barham karen

wo tawajjoh den to ho aarasta bazm-e-hayat
wo nigahen pher len to anjuman barham karen

yun badal len tala-e-khurshid se bakht-e-siyah
aasman ki tarah sar ko tere dar par kham karen

aaina-dar-e-numud-e-husn roz-afzun jo ho
hum kahan se roz paida ek naya aalam karen

aagahi sar-chashma-e-ranj-o-alam 'tasir' hai
hum khushi se hi nahin waqif to phir kya gham karen
