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

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

chehra to chamak damak raha hai

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
