waqt-e-aKHir jo baalin par aajaiyo

charagh sham se aaKHir jalaen kis ke liye

wo arz-e-gham pe mashwara-e-iKHtisar de

maut aai hai zamane ki to mar jaane do

main naqsh-ha-e-KHun-e-wafa chhoD jaunga

ab jam nigahon ke nasha kyun nahin dete

gardish-e-mai ka is par na hoga asar mast aankhon ka jadu jise yaad hai

jis din se uTh ke hum teri mahfil se aae hain

deti hain thapkiyan teri parchhaiyan mujhe

tere chand jaise ruKH par ye nishan-e-dard kyun hain

baada-KHane ki riwayat ko nibhana chahiye

main un ko kabhi had se guzarne nahin dunga
