jin se afsana-e-hasti mein tasalsul tha kabhi

zulf-e-barham ki jab se shanasa hui

naghmon ki ibtida thi kabhi mere nam se

rang uDne laga hai phulon ka

jis ahd mein luT jae faqiron ki kamai

mar gae jin ke chahne wale

hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin

hum banaenge yahan saghar nai taswir-e-shauq

ai dil-e-be-qarar chup ho ja

huron ki talab aur mai o saghar se hai nafrat

kal jinhen chhu nahin sakti thi farishton ki nazar

ye kinaron se khelne wale

jab jam diya tha saqi ne jab daur chala tha mahfil mein

bhuli hui sada hun mujhe yaad kijiye

taqdir ke chehre ki shikan dekh raha hun
