ummid-war-e-lutf nahin hain kisi se hum
mayus is liye bhi nahin zindagi se hum

un ki jafaen sah na sake khush-dili se hum
kya sulh kar sakenge gham-e-zindagi se hum

hain mast aur be-khud-o-sarshaar aaj tak
ek roz kya mile the kisi ajnabi se hum

wo ab hamare pahlu mein baithe hue hain 'dard'
dar ye hai mar na jaen kahin is khushi se hum
