thaharne ka sabab koi nahin hai
pas-e-diwar jab koi nahin hai

ye dil maskan khumar-e-raegan ka
yahan jashn-e-tarab koi nahin hai

badi 'izzat hai meri us ke dil mein
sar-e-mahfil adab koi nahin hai

bahut kuchh mangte hain ahl-e-duniya
magar husn-e-talab koi nahin hai

mohabbat ke sarab-e-mustaqil mein
hisab-e-roz-o-shab koi nahin hai

andhere kis tarah kafur honge
kisi mein tab-o-tab koi nahin hai
