Qismat Mein Dard Hai To Dawa Hi Na Launga

qismat mein dard hai to dawa hi na launga

aaina-e-yaqin pe siyahi na launga

ya to mere bayan pe munsif yaqin kare

ya phir saza likhe main gawahi na launga

is daur-e-na-shanas mein kuchh bhi kahun magar

ab dastan mein zikr-e-wafa hi na launga

apnon se jang hai to bhale haar jaun main

lekin main apne sath sipahi na launga

dosh-e-karam pe bar hai jab harf-e-muddaa

phir main zaban pe harf-e-dua hi na launga

jab tum saf-e-adu mein chale jaoge to phir

dil mein malal-e-kor-nigahi na launga

maidan-e-kar-zar mein 'aKHtar' kabhi bhi main

KHauf-e-sinan-e-zill-e-ilahi na launga
