tumhaari yaad hai main hun ki zindagi hai yahi
maal-e-gham hai yahi hasil-e-khushi hai yahi

adu pe lutf-o-karam aur mujh pe jaur-o-sitam
bata de meri wafaon ki tohfagi hai yahi

tumhaari did se taskin-e-qalb hoti hai
meri nigah ki bas wajh-e-tishnagi hai yahi

tere huzur mein dhuni ramae baitha hun
zamana kuchh bhi kahe apni zindagi hai yahi

kisi ki mad bhari nazron se pi chuka hun 'hayat'
bataun kya tumhein bas raaz-e-be-khudi hai yahi
