subh ko hai agar to sham nahin
zindagi ka koi qiyam nahin

jama karti hun daulat-e-duniya
kya mera ye khayal-e-kham nahin

ahl-e-duniya se dur rahti hun
aarzu-e-numud-o-nam nahin

hum ne ek ek ko aazma dekha
doston mein wafa ka nam nahin

jis se uqba meri sanwar jati
zindagi mein hua wo kaam nahin

ja-e-ibrat hai ye jahan 'nazar'
dil lagane ka ye maqam nahin
