dekhaa hai zindagii ko kuchh itanaa qariib se

chehare tamaam lagane lage hai.n ajiib se

is re.ngatii hayaat kaa kab tak uThaaye.n baar

biimaar ab ulajhane lage hai.n tabiib se

har gaam par hai majamaa-e-ushshaaq muntazir

maqtal kii raah milatii hai kuu-e-habiib se

is tarah zindagii ne diyaa hai hamaaraa saath

jaise ko_ii nibaah rahaa ho raqiib se

ai ruuh-e-asar jaag kahaa.N so rahii hai tuu

aavaaz de rahe hai.n payambar saliib se
