un ko apni khabar nahin hoti
kash hoti magar nahin hoti

subh-e-ishrat to kat gai lekin
sham-e-gham mukhtasar nahin hoti

aap mujh se na ruthte to meri
duniya zer-o-zabar nahin hoti

yunhi jo sab ke hath aa jae
anqa be-baal-o-par nahin hoti

khar bo deta is gali mein agar
ye teri rahguzar nahin hoti

mere marne ki phir dua mangen
har dua be-asar nahin hoti
