**Nahin yeh fikr koi rehbar-e-kaamil nahi milta
Koi duniya mein manoos mizaaj-e-dil nahi milta
Yeh aana koi aana hai ke bas rasman chaley aaye
Yeh milna khaak milna hai ke dil sey dil nahi milta
Kabhi saahil per reh kar shauq toofanon sey takrayein
Kabhi toofanon mein ghir kar fikr hai saahil nahi milta
Yeh qatl-e-aam hai aur be uzn qatl-e-aam kiya maa’ani
Yeh bismal kaisey bismal hain jinhein qaatil nahi milta**
