[sara butt]

Zindagi ki rahon min ranj-o-gham k mele hen.
Char soo andhere hen an ginnat jhamele hen.

Kashtiyan hen kaghaz ki barishon ka mosam he.
Aandhiyon k jhakar min paniyon k rele hen.

Dard ka samadr he mohabbaton ki bazi min.
Ghamon ki rawani min dard kitne jhele hen.

Tum bina adhuri he zindagi do pal ki he.
Ansuon k darya min kis qadar akele hen.

Na tamam raston min dushmanon k pehre hen.
Bewafa zamane ne khel kese khele hen.

Kis ko man len apna, kis se dushmani rakhen.
Is bebasi min gham beshumar jhele hen.

Bat ik lamhe ki he waqt kab mayasar he.
Khwahishen hazaron hen hath mere phele hen.

Aa k tum hi rakh jao dil pe hath shaukat k.
Door reh k baton se dil kis k behle hen.
