darwaza tere shahr ka wa chahiye mujhko

yun na koi teri mahfil mein pareshan ho jae

dard ko hum zindagi ka kaif-o-kam kahte rahe

wo jo ab dil ki rahguzar mein nahin

manus ho gae hain andhe purane ghar se

uTha jo dast-e-sitam qatl-e-be-nawa ke liye

gham ki garmi se dil pighalte rahe

baiTha hun waqf-e-matam-e-hasti miTa hua

josh-e-junun bhi gardish-e-dauran se kam na tha

waqt ka jhonka jo sab patte uDa kar le gaya

dil ki aaraish-e-alam ka tamasha dekhe

hisar-e-dil se udhar bhi haqiqaten hain bahut

tha bahut be-dard lekin hausla deta raha

manzil-e-marg mein jine ki ada rakhta hun

aah bargah-e-husn mein jalwon ka asar dekh
