Chand lafzon me bayan kardi tune zindagi,
Me maut aane tak dhundhati rhi kashm e kash zindagi..!

Gar aansuo ki zuban hoti to puchati unhe,
Door sharaon me kahin ek pyas thi zindagi..!
...
Rusvaiyan meri tere dar tak phonch gai e hamnshin,
Me khamosh thi band darwazon se nikal gai zindagi..!

Kitani siddat se chaha tha unhe e dil,
Khamakhan raz khol kar badnaam kar gai zindagi..!......
