ye to achchha hai ki dukh-dard sunane lag jao
har kisi ko na magar zakhm dikhane lag jao

nil ke paniyo raste mein na hail hona
kya pata zarb-e-kalimi se thikane lag jao

kitni mushkil se to aae ho zara thahro bhi
sahl andaz mein is tarah na jaane lag jao

samne aao to jaise ki gul-e-tar koi
aur tanhai mein phir ashk bahane lag jao

mausam-e-dil jo kabhi zard sa hone lag jae
apna dil khun karo phul ugane lag jao

aql samjhae to kuchh laj rakho us ki bhi
jab junun tez ho to khak udane lag jao

kabhi tanhai mein baitho to faqat rote raho
phir achanak hi kabhi hansne-hansane lag jao

bojh dil par hai nadamat ka to aisa kar lo
mere sine se kisi aur bahane lag jao
