MasarratoN ko ye ahl-e-havas na kho dete 
jo har Khushii meiN tire gham ko bhii somo lete

KahaaN vo shab ki tire gesuoN ke saaye meiN
Khayaal-e-subah se ham aasteeN bhigo lete

bahaane aur bhii hote jo zindagii ke liye
ham ek baar tirii aarzuu bhi kho dete

bachaa liyaa mujhe tuufaaN kii mauj ne varnaa
kinaare vaale safinaa miraa dubo dete

jo dekhtee miree nazaroN pe bandishoN ke sitam
jo yeh nazaare mirii bebasii pe ro dete

kabhii to yuuN bhii umaRte sarashak-e-gham "Majrooh"
ki mere zaKhm-e-tamanna ke daagh dho dete
