zindagi to nazar kar di bazam-e-dawat-e-ahbaab ko
Naama-e-amaal pesh kya karoge roz-e-hisaab ko?

Hai kya meri hasti is wasee jahaan mein
Kabhi main khaaq ko dekhoon to kabhi habaab ko

Tere qadam hi to liye jaate hain dashte sehra mein
Kyon ilzaam jaye hai satrangey saraab ko?

Chasham-e-tar to bedaar hogi kisi aur jahaan mein
Chhod chali musht-e-ghubaar is jahan-e-kharaab ko

Zindagi se is zindagi mein milna dushwaar hai bahot
Khwaab hi rahney do is anjaane khwaab ko
