Aisa hai ke sab khawb musalsal nahin hote..

Aisa hai ke sab khawb musalsal nahin hote,
Jo aaj hote hian magar kal nahin hote,

Andar ki fazaon ke karishme bhi ajab hain,
Menh tuut ke barse bhi to badal nahin hote,

Kuch mushkilen aisi hain ke asaan nahin hotin,
Kuch aese muammay hain kabhi hal nahin hote,

Shaistagi-e-gham ke sabbab ankhon ke sehraa,
Namnak to ho jaate hain jal-thal nahin hote,

Kese hi talatum hon magar qulzum-e-jan main,
Kuch yaad jazeere hain ke ojhal nahin hote,

Ushaq ke manind keyi ehl-e-havas bhi,
Pagal to nazar aate hain pagal nahin hote,

Sab khawhishen puri hon faraz aesa nahin hai,
Jaise keyi ashaar mukammal nahin hote..
