hamein waqf-e-gham sar-ba-sar dekh lete

bhulata lakh hun lekin barabar yaad aate hain

na surat kahin shadmani ki dekhi

dil ko KHayal-e-yar ne maKHmur kar diya

dekhna bhi to unhen dur se dekha karna

wo chup ho gae mujhse kya kahte kahte

raushan jamal-e-yar se hai anjuman tamam

humne kis din tere kuche mein guzara na kiya

aur to pas mere hijr mein kya rakkha hai

kya kaam unhen pursish-e-arbab-e-wafa se

ghaTega tere kuche mein waqar aahista aahista

sitam ho jae tamhid-e-karam aisa bhi hota hai

na samjhe dil fareb-e-arzu ko

kya wo ab nadim hain apne jaur ki rudad se

pairaw-e-maslak-e-taslim-o-raza hote hain
