‘Zindagi main tu nahi to arzoo kis k lye,

Ye mohabbat kis lye ye justuju kis k lye

Main tujhe dekha karun or tu mujhe dekha kare

Ye nhi to phir jan-e-jana roo-baro kis k lye,

Har sajawat jsm-o-jaan ki maine ki tere lye,

Tu agr milta nhi to rang-o-boo kis k lye,

Dilbari k tere charche ja ba ja maine sune,

Tu agr mera nhi to ye chahat kis k lye,

Har ghazal maine likhi ae jan-e-jaan tere lye,

Tu agr sunta nahi to guftugu kis k lye’.
