shuur-e-qais ne sahra mein khud-kushi kar li
kaha gaya gham-e-laila mein khud-kushi kar li

gham-e-hayat ke aatish-kade se aaya tha
wo jis ne kud ke dariya mein khud-kushi kar li

hamare qatl ka shahid to hai har ek lamha
magar ye shor hai duniya mein khud-kushi kar li

mila na jab koi autar mujh ko kal-yug mein
nae janam ki tamanna mein khud-kushi kar li

junun talash-e-bayaban mein munhamik hi raha
khirad ne saghar-e-sahba mein khud-kushi kar li

rah-e-hayat na tai ho saki to jamuna ne
suna hai dub ke ganga mein khud-kushi kar li
