Muje apne zabt pe naz tha sar-e-bazm yeh kya huwa
Meri ankh kaise chalk gai mujey ranj hai yeh bura huwa

Meri zindgi k chiragh ka yeh mizaj koi naya nahin
Kabhi roshni kabhi tergi na jala huwa na buja huwa

Muje aap kiyon na samj sake zara apne dil se hi poocheye
Meri daastan-e-hayyat ka hai wark wark khula huwa

Muje jo bhi dushman-e-jan mila woh pukhta jafa kar tha
Na kisi ki zarb ghalat pari na kisi ka war khata huwa

Mere ik gosh-e-jigar mein meri jaan se bhi aziz tar
Mera ik aisa bhi dost hai jo mila kabhi na juda huwa
