pursish-e-Gam kaa shukriyaa kyaa tujhe aagahii nahii.n 
tere baGair zindagii dard hai zindagii nahii.n 

daur thaa ek guzar gayaa nashaa thaa ek utar gayaa 
ab vo muqaam hai jahaa.N shikvaa-e-beruKhii nahii.n 

tere sivaa karuu.N pasand kyaa terii qaayanaat me.n 
dono.n jahaa.N kii neamate.n, qiimat-e-bandagii nahii.n 

laakh zamaanaa zulm Dhaaye vaqt na vo Khudaa dikhaaye 
jab mujhe ho yaqii.n ki tuu haasil-e-zindagii nahii.n 

dil kii shaguftagii ke saath raahat-e-maikadaa ga_ii 
fursat-e-maikashi to hai hasarat-e-maikashii ga_ii 

zaKhm pe zaKhm khaake jii apane lahuu ke ghuu.NT pii 
aah na kar labo.n ko sii ishq hai dillagii nahii.n 

dekh ke Khushk-o-zard phuul dil hai kuchh is tarah maluul 
jaise terii Khizaa.N ke baad daur-e-bahaar hii nahii.n
