Jin ki qismat mein andhere hain sanwarte kyun hain

Shaam dhalte hi behakne ko tarapte kyun hain

 

Koi poonche to in nadaan patangon se sawal

Shaam dhalne pe yeh gher se nikalte kyun hain

 

Jab inhen ilm hai ke bas maut hi hogi haasil

Shamma ki loa se daanista ulhajte kyun hai

 

Jisko her haal mein jalna hai pighal jaana hai

Aise beemar ki chahat mein jhulaste kyun hain

 

Jinko kehta hai daghabaz-o-bewafa alam

Unki lehrati hui lau pe thirakte kyun hain
