tarab ke makhmase gham ke jhamele
dil-e-nadan ne lakhon khel khele

gae ek ek kar ke ham-safar sab
hamin zinda hain marne ko akele

gham-e-dauran se utni bar haare
gham-e-jaanan se jitni bar khele

dil aakhir tab lata bhi to kab tak
qayamat the tamannaon ke rele

ye duniya khatm ho jaegi aakhir
na honge khatm duniya ke jhamele

na koi ham-khayal ai 'arsh' paya
rahe hum anjuman mein bhi akele
