tabibon se nazar ki chot pahchani nahin jati
pareshan hain ki kyon meri pareshani nahin jati

kisi surat meri aashufta-samani nahin jati
bayaban bas gae aur ghar ki virani nahin jati

fana ke ghat tak gham ki sitam-rani nahin jati
bahi jati hain aankhen ashk-afshani nahin jati

tumhaara hukm hai wo hukm jo tala nahin jata
hamari baat hai wo baat jo mani nahin jati

khuda shahid hai main apni tabahi ka hun khud bais
ab is ko kya karun us ki pareshani nahin jati

'hayat'-e-gham-zada ke dil ki virani ko mat puchho
hua hai aisa viran jis ki virani nahin jati
