kya kare meri masihai bhi karne vaala
zakhm hi ye mujhe lagta nahin bharne vaala
zindagi se kisi samjhaute ke ba-vasf ab tak
yaad aata hai koi marne marne vaala
us ko bhi ham tire kuche men guzar aae hain
zindagi men vo jo lamha tha sanvarne vaala
us ka andaz-e-sukhan sab se juda tha shayad
baat lagti hui lahja vo mukarne vaala
shaam hone ko hai aur aankh men ik khvab nahin
koi is ghar men nahin raushni karne vaala
dastaras men hain anasir ke irade kis ke
so bikhar ke hi raha koi bikharne vaala
isi ummid pe har shaam bujhae hain charagh
ek taara hai sar-e-bam ubharne vaala
