Ranj-e-firaaqt-e-yaar main ruswaa nahin hua..

Ranj e firaaq e yaar main ruswaa nahin hua,
Itna main chup hua ke tamasha nahin hua,

Aesa safar hai jis main koi hamsafar nahin,
Rasta hai is tarah ka ke dekha nahin hua,

Mushkil hua hai rehna humen iss dayaar main,
Barson yahan rahe hain yeh apnaa nahin hua,

Woh kaam shah-e-sheher se ya shehr se hua,
Jo kaam bhi hua yahan acha nahin hua,

Milna tha aik bar usay phir kahin munir,
Aesa main chahta tha pr aesa nahin hua..
