Nazar fareb-e-kazaa khaa gaii to kyaa hogaa 
hayaat maut se Takraa gaii to kyaa hogaa

naii sahar ke bahut log muntazir hai’n magar 
na-ii sahar bhii kajalaa gaii to kyaa hogaa

na rahanumaaon kii majalis me’n le chalo mujhako 
main be-adab huu’n hansii aa gaii to kyaa hogaa

Gham-e-hayaat se beshaq hai Khudkushii aasaan 
magar jo maut bhii sharmaa gaii to kyaa hogaa

shabaab-e-laalaa-o-gul ko pukaar anevaalo’n 
Khizaa’n sirisht bahaar aa gayii to kya hogaa

ye fikr kar ki is aasuudagii ke dhoke me’n 
terii Khudii ko bhii maut aa gaii to kyaa hogaa
