Tum se ulfat ke taqaaze na nibaahe jaate,
varnaa ham ko bhii tamannaa thii ke chaahe jaate,

dil ke maaro kaa na kar Gam ki ye andohnasiib,
zaKhm bhii dil me.n na hotaa to karaahe jaate,

[andohnasiib = unfortunate]

dii na mohalat hame.n hastii ne vafaa kii varnaa,
aur kuchh din Gam-e-hastii se nibaahe jaate.
