Ab kisi mahfil me jane ki hume fursat nahi

Ab kisi mahfil me jane ki hume fursat nahi,

Aur kisi se dil lagane ki hume fursat nahi;

Jisko basna tha is dil me aake, wo bas gaya,

Kisi or ko is dil me basane ki hame fursat nahi;

Unki mahfil me jab sir apna jhuk gaya,

Kisi or ke aage sir jhukane ki hume fursat nahi;

Be-kader dunia jab ye poochati hai humse, koun hai wo?

Aur hum kahte hain ye batane ki hame fursat nahi;
