sham-e-hasrat jala gae aansu

umiden miT gain ab ham-nafas kya

wo hasrat-e-bahaar na tufan-e-zindagi

gar hai nae nizam ki taKHliq ka KHayal

sham-e-ummid jala baiThe the

dasht gulzar hua jata hai

rona mujhe KHizan ka nahin kuchh magar shamim

jis ko dil se laga ke rakkha tha

bahaar-e-nau ki phir hai aamad aamad

hosh aaya to kahin kuchh bhi na tha
