'Mujhe mehsoos hota hai k
Lutf-e-Zindgi kam hai

Ghum-e-Dil had se barrh kar hain, Muyassar ab khushi kam hai

Musalsal Dil ki Be-Cheni ko kya kehtey hain dil wale?

Tumhein maloom ho shayed, mujhe to aa'gahi kam hai

Ab is k baad jism-o-jan ko bhi jalaney sey kya hasil?

Chiraghon mein lahoo jalta hai, phir bhi roshni kam hai

Jisey bhi dost samjha
dushman-e-jaan wohi thehra

Nahi hai dosti jis se, ussi sey dushmani kam hai...!'
