umr-safar jari hai bas ye khel dekhne ko

sham hote hi khuli saDkon ki yaad aati hai

gham ki daulat baDi mushkil se mila karti hai

ya main sochun kuchh bhi na uske bare mein

bataun kis tarah ahbab ko aankhen jo aisi hain

tujhse mil kar bhi na tanhai miTegi meri

ajib chiz hai ye waqt jis ko kahte hain

bichhDe logon se mulaqat kabhi phir hogi

gardish-e-waqt ka kitna baDa ehsan hai ki aaj

jo hone wala hai ab uski fikr kya kije

mere suraj aa! mere jism pe apna saya kar

ab ji ke bahalne ki hai ek yahi surat

tujhe bhul gaya kabhi yaad nahin karta tujhko

pahle nahai os mein phir aansuon mein raat

aasman kuchh bhi nahin ab tere karne ke liye
