Qissa-e-zist muKHtasar karte

qissa-e-zist muKHtasar karte
kuchh to apni si chaaragar karte

maut ki nind so gae bimar
roz kis sham ko sahar karte

sach hai har nala kyun rasa hota
mere nale the kyun asar karte

KHud wafa kya wafa ka badla kya
lutf ehsan tha agar karte

kar liya tere nam par sajda
ab kahan qasd-e-sang-e-dar karte

aas hoti to is sahaare par
sabr mumkin na tha magar karte

kash aaina hath se rakh kar
tum mere haal par nazar karte

tul-e-rudad-e-gham maaz-allah
umr guzri hai muKHtasar karte

gham ne mohlat na di ki hum 'fani'
aur kuchh din abhi basar karte
