Aah ko chaahiye ik umr asar hone tak
Kaun jiitaa hai terii zulf ke sar hone tak

Aashiqii sabrtalab aur tamannaa betaab
Dil kaa kyaa rang karuun khuun-e-jigar hone tak

Ham ne maanaa ke tagaaful na karoge lekin
Khaak ho jaayenge ham tumako khabar hone tak

[Tagaaful: Lethargy, neglect/ignore]

Gam-e-hastii kaa 'asad' kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
Shamma har rang men jalatii hai sahar hone tak
