yun zindagi ke marhale dushwar ho gae
gulshan ke phul mere liye khar ho gae

suraj mere uruj ka jab dubne laga
apne tamam log hi be-zar ho gae

waraftagi-e-shauq ka eajaz dekhiye
shoale hamare haq mein bhi gulzar ho gae

maidan-e-kar-zar mein jo kuchh na kar sake
mahfil mein wo bhi ghazi-e-guftar ho gae

chaha tha rasm-o-rah badhe un se par 'majid'
haalat apne bich ki diwar ho gae
