yarab hayat-e-ishq kabhi mukhtaser na ho
woh sham dey kay jiski abad tak seher na ho

apnay sukoon-e-dil ki dua kar raha hoon main
or yeh bhi chahta hoon dua main aser na ho

sahil pay lay kay doobti nakamiyan hamein
himmat taraz shorish-e-toofan ager na hon

peeham shikastagi say sanwerti hai zindagi
daaman na chak ho to junu moatber na ho

woh aina nahin kisi dil ka gubar hai
jis aeenay main jalwa-e-aina ger na ho

yeh kya kay ek jahan ko tamasha bana dia
yun muskuraiyay kay kisi ko khaber na ho


jo kuch bhi hoi jahan main gawara hai sab qamar
insaan kay ikhtiyar main insaan mager na hon.
