pas-manzar mein feed hue jate hain insani kirdar

wo to aisa bhi hai waisa bhi hai kaisa hai magar?

yaadon ke naqsh ghul gae tezab-e-waqt mein

jitne marka-e-dil wo lagatar gaya

zamane sabz o surKH o zard guzre

nind miTTi ki mahak sabze ki ThanDak

ab aa ke qalam ke pahlu mein so jati hain be-kaifi se

mushabahat ke ye dhoke mumasalat ke fareb

main ek saat-e-be-KHud mein chhu gaya tha jise

bayaz par sambhal sake na tajrabe

saz jab khula hum par sher koi ghaalib ka

la se la ka safar tha to phir kis liye

KHabar ke moD pe sang-e-nishan thi be-KHabari

main tere husn ko ranai-e-mani de dun

mere mah o sal ki kahani ki dusri qist is tarah hai
