mire nalon men itna to asar hai
shab-e-gham hai magar kuchh mukhtasar hai
ummiden laae the gham le ke uthe
ye rudad-e-hayat-e-mukhtasar hai
nahin hai duur kuchh manzil hamari
zamana raah men haail magar hai
asiron ko rihai mil to jaae
magar shart-e-shikast-e-bal-o-par hai
vo rahen jin ko suuna kar gae vo
unhin par aaj tak meri nazar hai
jahan tum ho vahan hain laala o gul
jahan ham hain vahan barq-o-sharar hai
badal daala hai jis ne mera aalam
kisi ki ik nigah-e-mukhtasar hai
ilahi khair mere ashiyan ki
saba ke saath phir mauj-e-sharar hai
mah o khurshid ko samjha hai manzil
khudaya kis qadar aajiz bashar hai
