bahut milaa na milaa zindagii se ghum kyaa hai
mataa-e-dard baham hai to besh-o-kam kyaa hai
ham ek umr se vaaqif hai.n ab na samajhaao
ke lutf kyaa hai mere meharabaa.n sitam kyaa hai
kare na jag me.n alaav to sher kis maqasad
kare na shahar me.n jal-thal to chashm-e-nam kyaa hai
ajal ke haath koi aa rahaa hai paravaanaa
na jaane aaj kii feharist me.n raqam kyaa hai
sajaao bazm, Gazal gaao, jaam taazaa karo
bahut sahii Gam-e-getii sharaab kam kyaa hai
lihaaz me.n koi kuchh door saath chalataa hai
vagarnaa dahar me.n ab Khizr kaa bharam kyaa hai
mataa-e-dard baham hai to besh-o-kam kyaa hai
ham ek umr se vaaqif hai.n ab na samajhaao
ke lutf kyaa hai mere meharabaa.n sitam kyaa hai
kare na jag me.n alaav to sher kis maqasad
kare na shahar me.n jal-thal to chashm-e-nam kyaa hai
ajal ke haath koi aa rahaa hai paravaanaa
na jaane aaj kii feharist me.n raqam kyaa hai
sajaao bazm, Gazal gaao, jaam taazaa karo
bahut sahii Gam-e-getii sharaab kam kyaa hai

vagarnaa dahar me.n ab Khizr kaa bharam kyaa hai
