Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta,
Kahi jami to kahi aasman nahi milta..
Jise bhi dekhiye wo apne aap me gum hai,
Zuba mili hai magar hum-zuban nahi milta..
Bujha saka hai bhala kon waqt ke shole,
Ye aisi aag hai jisme dhuwa nahi milta..
Tere jahaan me aisa nahi ke pyaar na ho,
Jaha ummid ho iski waha nahi milta..
