KHayal-o-KHwab-o-aqaed ki sehar-kari tak

ghuTe ghuTe se shab-o-roz the bujhi si faza

na jaanne se chali baat jaanne ki taraf

sukut-e-maut hai lekin sukut KHatm hua

junun-sarisht se jazbe amal ki rahon mein

libas oDhe hue azm ka nikalte hain

KHirad ke des mein tanzim zindagi le kar

bahut hi kam hain jo aise sanwar ke chalte hain

hayat ek safar hai bahut azim safar

gurez-o-jazb mein Duba hua hai har lamha

bahut aziz hai jo fikr kaam aa jae

ki us se baDh ke kahan waqt ka koi hadiya

hayat sud-o-ziyan se nawisht rahti hai

hayat sud-o-ziyan ke jahan ka mehwar hai

kabhi hai dil ka zarar yan kabhi hai jaan ko sakun

kabhi dawa hai kabhi zaKHm-e-dil pe nashtar hai

hayat rah-e-aziyyat hai apni manzil mein

magar ye rah-e-aziyyat tamam hone tak

na jaane kitni umangon ka KHun ho jae

koi to pyas bujhe jashn-e-jam hone tak
