jis qadar shikwe the sab harf-e-dua hone lage

tamam duniya mein DhunD aaya main gum-shuda zindagi ki surat

bayan qissa-e-bechaargi kiya jae

waqt ke hathon hikayat-e-ana bhul gae

DhunDte DhunDte KHud ko main kahan ja nikla

kya tamasha dekhiye tahsil-e-la-hasil mein hai

sab miT gae mange hai magar teri nazar aur

waqif the kahan hum dil-e-na-chaar se pahle

subh ko chain na ho sham ko aaram na ho

jab jab wo sar-e-tur-e-tamanna nazar aaya

be-kaif jawani hai be-dard zamana hai
