tujh bin aaram-e-jaan kahan hai mujhe
zindagani wabaal-e-jaan hai mujhe

gar yahi dard-e-hijr hai tera
zist ka apni kab guman hai mujhe

misl-e-tuti hazar mani mein
sehr-e-saz-e-sukhan zaban hai mujhe

hai khayal us ka mana-e-guftar
warna sau quwwat-e-bayan hai mujhe

khamushi be-sabab nahin 'bedar'
bais-e-zistan dahan hai mujhe
