wo jo sharminda-e-jafa na hua
ye bhi achchha hua bura na hua

husn aamada-e-karam tha magar
ishq mamnun-e-muddaa na hua

main bhi tanon ke nazr ho jata
khair guzri ki parsa na hua

maut se raushni mile shayad
zindagi se to kuchh bhala na hua

ab ye rah rah ke sochta hun main
kya hua mujh se aur kya na hua
