ab ke mardum-shumari mein maine
dard-e-ulfat zindagi ke waste iksir hai
na jaane kyun zamana hans raha hai meri haalat par
ye sal bhi udasiyan de kar chala gaya
meri tasbih ke dane hain bholi suraton wale
kya mere haal pe sach-much unhen gham tha qasid
hui surat na kuchh apni shifa ki
ai rahmat-e-tamam karam jab hain be-shumar
maine saman-e-safar bandh ke phir khol diya
waqt-e-ruKHsat teri aankhon ka wo jhuk sa jaana
maut se kyun itni wahshat jaan kyun itni aziz
kam-sini ka husn tha wo ye jawani ki bahaar
ishq ki har dastan mein ek hi nukta mila
aaj phir man mujhe maregi bahut rone par
mere pahlu mein wo aaya bhi to KHushbu ki tarah
