tamam umr yun hi ho gai basar apni

rifat kabhi kisi ki gawara yahan nahin

dil siyah hai baal hain sab apne piri mein safed

kaam auron ke jari rahen nakaam rahen hum

zindagi zinda-dili ka hai nam

zulfon mein kiya qaid na abru se kiya qatl

teri surat se kisi ki nahin milti surat

aane mein sada der lagate hi rahe tum

kare jo har qadam par ek nala

tazgi hai suKHan-e-kuhna mein ye baad-e-wafat

hir-phir ke daere hi mein rakhta hun main qadam

ba-zer-e-qasr-e-gardun kya koi aaram se soe

ab ki holi mein raha be-kar rang

hum mai-kashon ko Dar nahin marne ka mohtasib

bhulta hi nahin wo dil se use
