Tumhe'n udas sa pata hu'n mai'n kai din se, 
Na jane kaun se sadme utha rahi ho tum,, 
Wo shokhiya'n, wo tabassum, wo qahqahe na rahe 
Har ek chiiz ko hasrat se dekhti ho tum ,
Chhupa chhupa ke khamoshi may apni bechaini, 
Khud apne raaz ki tashir ban gai ho tum ,
Meri ummid agar mit gai to mitne do, 
Ummid kya hai bas ek pas o pesh hai kuch bhi nahi, 
Meri hayat ki ghamghiinio'n ka gham na karo, 
Gham hayat e gham yak nuqs hai kuch bhi nahi, 
Tum apne husn ki ranayio'n par raham karo, 
Wafa fareb tul hawas hai kuch bhi nahi.
