zindagi mein kami na ho jae
tum miloge yaqin na kho jae

bhul jaun tujhe dua hai aur
iltija hai wahi na ho jae

tum milo par aziz hai gham bhi
dar hai mujh ko khushi na ho jae

aashiqi bandagi hui hai yun
tu khuda main wali na ho jae

raat bhar to diya raha raushan
subh jab ho tabhi na so jae

zabt-e-gham se mere hi darta hun
dekh kar wo kahin na ro jae

ek ho jaen is qadar 'betab'
main na houn kahin na wo jae
