tamasha phir sar-e-bazar karna
phir apne ahd se inkar karna

yahi hai mashghala kar-e-junun mein
banana phir use mismar karna

fareb-e-arzu hi zindagi hai
sarabon mein safar be-kar karna

jise pane ki khwahish mein jiye the
usi ki zat ka inkar karna

jazire khwahishon ki rah mein hain
magar lazim samundar par karna

jise ek umr ki kawish se bhule
usi ki yaad pur-asrar karna

darichon se lagi aankhon ki surat
kabhi chhupna kabhi izhaar karna

abhi ek aakhiri sach bolna hai
khushi se phir supurd-dar karna
