ye maanaa zindagii hai chaar din kii 
bahut hote hai.n yaaro chaar din bhii 

Khudaa ko paa gayaa vaa_iz magar hai 
zaruurat aadamii ko aadamii kii 

milaa huu.N muskuraa ke us se har baar 
magar aa.Nkho.n me.n bhii thii kuchh namii sii

** Can someone verify the above sher? **

muhabbat me.n kahe.n kyaa haal dil kaa 
Khushii hii kaam aatii hai na Gam hii 

bharii mahafil me.n har ek se bachaakar 
terii aa.Nkho.n ne mujh se baat kar lii 

la.Dakapan kii adaa hai jaan_levaa 
Gazab kii chhokarii hai haath_bhar kii 

raqiib-e-Gam_zadaa ab sabr kar le 
kabhii us se merii bhii dostii thii
