wo sun kar hur ki tarif parde se nikal aae
kaha phir muskura kar husn-e-zeba is ko kahte hain

ajal ka nam dushman dusre mani mein leta hai
tumhaare chahne wale tamanna is ko kahte hain

mere madfan pe kyun rote ho aashiq mar nahin sakta
ye mar jaana nahin hai sabr aana is ko kahte hain

namak bhar kar mere zakhmon mein tum kya muskuraate ho
mere zakhmon ko dekho muskurana is ko kahte hain

zamane se adawat ka sabab thi dosti jin ki
ab un ko dushmani hai hum se duniya is ko kahte hain

dikhate hum na aaina to ye kyun kar nazar aata
bashar huron se achchha tum ne dekha is ko kahte hain
