zindagi naqs-e-zindagi to nahin
bandagi mein koi kami to nahin

aap ki dosti se darta hun
aap se koi dushmani to nahin

be-usuli usul ho jae
aap par aisi be-khudi to nahin

aaj zulmat ke chehre par hai nur
un ka gham bais-e-khushi to nahin

main gunahon mein gharq hun lekin
us ki rahmat mein kuchh kami to nahin

mere sine mein saikdon bal hain
un ki zulfon mein barhami to nahin

aam hai zikr-e-khas ai 'maikash'
ab koi baat raaz ki to nahin
