vaqt do mujh par kaThin guzre haiñ saarī umr meñ

use kyun hum ne diya dil jo hai be-mehri mein kaamil jise aadat hai jafa ki

jise chiDh mehr-o-wafa ki jise aata nahin aana gham-o-hasrat ka miTana jo sitam mein hai yagana

baDhae jo kaho kuchh to KHafa ho kahe shikwe ki zarurat jo yahi hai to na chaho jo na

chahoge to kya hai na nibahoge to kya hai bahut itrao na dil de ke ye kis kaam ka dil

hai gham-o-andoh ka mara abhi chahun to main rakh dun ise talwon se masal kar abhi munh

dekhte rah jao ki hain un ko hua kya ki inhon ne mera dil le ke mere hath se khoya
