agarche aah-e-sar-e-sham bhi zaruri hai

tariq-e-kohna pe ab nazm-e-gulistan na rahe

KHizan ke dosh pe hai fasl-e-gul ka raKHt abhi

kushad zehn-o-dil-o-gosh ki zarurat hai

har ek haal mein chalne se jis ko kaam raha

wo shaKHs meri rasai se mawara bhi na tha

jaan-e-fikr-o-fan ab bhi ishq ki kahani hai

kitni saza mili hai mujhe arz-e-haal par

aaj kisi ki yaad mein hum ji bhar kar roe dhoya ghar
