us ke gham mein hayat bhul gae
raunaq-e-kaenat bhul gae

ek muddat mein to mile us se
phir bhi kahne ki baat bhul gae

ek hasin wardat ke aage
zist ke hadsat bhul gae

ishq mein log hum se kya badle
wo bhi to iltifat bhul gae

kitne be-khud hain us ke gham ke siwa
talkhi-e-waqiat bhul gae

aish-o-ishrat mein kho gae itna
hasti-e-be-sabaat bhul gae

us se mil kar the is qadar khush hum
ki har ek gham ki raat bhul gae

mal-o-zar hath kya laga un ke
log apni bhi zat bhul gae

zehn par itna chha gae wo 'zafar'
fikr-e-maut-o-hayat bhul gae
