tum pilao ye kam ghanimat hai
mai nai hai to sam ghanimat hai

hai khushi ki bhi kaifiyat malum
ho mayassar to gham ghanimat hai

tum na aae sahar to aa hi gai
dam-ba-dam dam-ba-dam ghanimat hai

is mein sang-e-giran bhi milte hain
rah ka pech-o-kham ghanimat hai

raat din aasman hain chakkar mein
mil jo baithen baham ghanimat hai

zindagani ka eatibar nahin
jo guzar jae dam ghanimat hai

kaba-o-dair se najat mili
tera naqsh-e-qadam ghanimat hai

shairi dil-lagi nahin 'shaukat'
jo hai zor-e-qalam ghanimat hai
