ye kya malum tha bargashta qismat is qadar hogi
gulon ki aarzu mein umr kanton mein basar hogi

junun ki ibtida hai apne diwane ko samjhao
wo aalam aur hoga jab mohabbat hosh par hogi

rah-e-ulfat mein ek aisi bhi manzil aane wali hai
jahan gham ka asar hota na kuchh apni khabar hogi

nahin malum kab jaan-e-chaman jalwa dikhaega
khuda malum kab shakh-e-tamanna bar-war hogi

abhi tak to koi taskin ki surat nahin nikli
yunhi ai 'soz' shayad zindagi apni basar hogi
