bite hue lamhat ko pahchan mein rakhna

zarfishan hai meri zarKHez zaminon ka badan

insan ki niyyat ka bharosa nahin koi

kya jaanen safar KHair se guzre ki na guzre

bas ai nigar-e-zist yaqin aa gaya hamein

usi sharar ko jo ek ahd-e-yas ne baKHsha

meri KHatir se ye ek zaKHm jo miTTi ne khaya hai

KHud ko aziyyaten na de mujhko aziyyaten na de

zaban-bandi ke mausam mein gali-kuchon ki mat puchho
