Kaar-o-baar-e-gham-e-duniya bhi nahin choot'ta hai

Kaar-o-baar-e-gham-e-duniya bhi nahin choot'ta hai

teri yadon ka tasalsul bhi nahin toot'ta hai

be-satooN harf e dua lab pe uthaaye rakhna

aasmaaN khak nasheenoN pe bohat toot'ta hai

jism aur rooh main hayl hai zameeN ki khushbu

warna aasaani se ye sath kahaN choot'ta hai

dab gai mal e ghaneemat hi main awaz e jaras

kon khaimooN se ye asbab e safr loot'ta hai

nafa'a e jaaN jisy hum day k bohut khush thay Saleem

ab ussi shaakh se mousam ka ziyaaN phoot'ta hai
