Ab Tak Dil-e-Khush Fehem Ko Tujh Se Hain Umeedain;
Yeh Aakhri Shama Bhi Bhujane Ke Liye Aa!
Aye Waaiz-e-Naadaan, Karta Hai Tu Ek Qayaamat Ka Charcha;
Yahaan Roz Nighaayein Milti Hain, Yahaan Roz Qayamat Hoti Hai!
Akhir zindigi ne bhi aaj puchh liya mujhse,
Kahan hai wo shaks jo tujhe mujh se bhi aziz tha.
Ksi ko kya hasil hoga mjhe yaad karney se, doston!
Main to ek aam insaan hu,
Aur yaha to har kisi ku khass ki talaash hai.
Rakh housla wo manzar bhi ayega,
Pyase ke paas chal ke samandar bhi ayega,
Thak-kar na beth ae manzil ke musafir,
Manzil bhi milegi or milne ka maza bhi ayega.
Chhu le tu asman zamin ki talaash na kar;
Jee le zindagi tu khushi ki talaash na kar;
Taqdir badal jayegi apne aap hi aey dost;
Muskrana sikh le wajah ki talaash na kar.
Jis din kitaab -e- ishq ki takmil ho gayi;
Rakh denge zindagi tera bastaa uthaa ke hum.
Roz rote hue kehti hai ye zindgi mujhse;
Sirf ek shakhs ki khatir mujhe barbad mat kar.
Manzil to mil hi jaayegi, bhatak ke hi sahi.
Gumraah toh woh hai jo ghar se nikle hi nahin!
Khwaish aisi karo ki aasman tak ja sako,
Dua aisi karo ki khuda ko pa sako,
U to jeene k liye pal bahut kam hai,
Jiyo aise k har pal mein zindgi pa sako..!
