mere mazi se chali aati hai har roz wo raat
is tarah dil mein shab-e-tanhai
gir rahe hain badan pe shaKH se phul
sehn-e-gulshan mein DhunDti hai kabhi
wo sar-e-sham baam par aae
dil mein le kar hum aas phirte rahe
aaj panghaT par is tarah thi bhiD
chupke chupke jahan basa leta
abhi se lutf-o-murawwat ka ehtimam na kar
waqt baDhta raha mausam mausam
haal ka lamha lamha chhalni hai
zindagi tu ne kahani de di
kah rahi hai rawish ki tabani
din guzarta hai unki yaadon mein
jab bhi khilta hai sar-e-shaKH koi taza gulab
