zindagi ko meri mahrum-e-dua rahne de
jo bhi taqdir mein likkha hai likha rahne de

bistar-e-marg pe chup-chap pada rahne de
gham ke shoalon ko na de aur hawa rahne de

pyar ka panchhi palat aaega kal mumkin hai
wapsi ke liye darwaza khula rahne de

khub sajti hai labon par tere phulon ki mahak
apne honton pe tabassum ki ziya rahne de

tu amiron ka musahib hai mubarak ho tujhe
mere hisse mein gharibon ki dua rahne de

waqt ne phul se hathon mein diya hai khanjar
aise haalat mein mat khwab saja rahne de

fasl ikhlas ki 'ashraf' na jhulas jae kahin
aag nafrat ki na sine mein jala rahne de
