Hote hain KHatm ab ye lamhat zindagi ke

hote hain KHatm ab ye lamhat zindagi ke
mehman hain jahan mein hum aur do ghaDi ke

ai be-niyaz mera sajda qubul kar le
main jaanta nahin hun aadab bandagi ke

sanson ke tar tum ne ghaflat se toD Dale
naghme sunoge ab kyunkar saz-e-zindagi ke

ab KHairiyat nahin hai tanzim-e-do-jahan ki
tewar bata rahe hain us but ki KHud-sari ke

ranaiyon pe apni nazan na hon bahaaren
anjam-e-gham nihan hai aaghaz mein KHushi ke

hansna tha chaar din ka rona hai umr bhar ka
dastur mein nirale duniya-e-ashiqi ke

umr-e-aziz ka jab anjam khul chuka hai
rone se faeda kya badle mein ab hansi ke

hum ne rah-e-wafa mein luT kar qadam qadam par
chhine hain rahzanon se atwar rahzani ke

jab tak na aazmaen mushkil hai ye batana
duniya mein kaun 'rifat' qabil hai dosti ke
