na ab wo KHush-nazari hai na KHush-KHisali hai

misal-e-aks kunj-e-zat se bahar raha hun main

guzar gae hain jo din un ko yaad karna kya

ye koi dil to nahin hai ki Thahar jaega

chehra to chamak damak raha hai

kyun KHalwat-e-gham mein rahte ho kyun gosha-nashin bekar hue

hujum-e-ham-nafsan chaara-e-alam na hua

hum pe tanhai mein kuchh aaise bhi lamhe aae

sitam bhi karta hai us ka sila bhi deta hai

ai mushfiq-e-man is haal mein tum kis tarah basar farmaoge

gham hi le de ke meri daulat-e-bedar nahin

naqsh guzre hue lamhon ke hain dil par kya kya

qadam uThe to ajab dil-gudaz manzar tha

kyun KHalwat-e-gham mein rahte ho kyun gosha-nashin bekar hue

kaam kuchh aa na saki rasm-e-shanasai bhi
