junun-e-shauq ke dam se hai izz-o-shan-e-hayat
yahi hai ruh-e-mohabbat yahi hai jaan-e-hayat

qiyam nam hai kis ka ise nahin malum
hamesha garm-e-tag-o-dau hai karwan-e-hayat

ziya-e-ishq se qalb-o-nigah raushan ho
to khud-bakhud nikhar aati hai dastan-e-hayat

gham-e-hayat ko hans hans ke jo uthata hai
usi ko milta hai yan lutf-e-jawidan-e-hayat

jo tu sune to kahun ek baat nukte ki
khudi se badh ke nahin koi pasban-e-hayat

khudi se tu ne agar rishta ustuwar kiya
ajal mita nahin sakti tera nishan-e-hayat

mila hai hazrat-e-iqbaal se use aahang
hua hai 'mansha' tabhi aisa naghma-khwan-e-hayat
