is tarah dil mein shab-e-tanhai
sehn-e-gulshan mein DhunDti hai kabhi
aaj panghaT par is tarah thi bhiD
chupke chupke jahan basa leta
dur ghaTi se sar uTha ke shafaq
abhi se lutf-o-murawwat ka ehtimam na kar
zindagi tu ne kahani de di
wo sar-e-sham baam par aae
aankhon ke gulabon ko nazmon mein chhupa lunga
din guzarta hai unki yaadon mein
waqt baDhta raha mausam mausam
dil ki dhaDkan ke payamat se Dar jate hain
hum jo kafir hain sab ki nazron mein
jab bhi khilta hai sar-e-shaKH koi taza gulab
ho kar duniya se begana
