meri gali mein ye aahaT thi kis ke qadmon ki

na tere dard ke tare hi ab sulagte hain

zindagi ki hasin shahzadi

saKHt-jaan bhi hain aur nazuk bhi

meri jawani bahaaron mein bhi udas rahi

aarzu ke diye jalane se

baDi shafiq, baDi gham-shanas lagti hain

tu mere sath ab nahin hai dost

tum gunahon se Dar ke jite ho

aasman ki bulandiyon se nadim

dard ka jam le ke jite hain

kawish-e-subh-o-sham baqi hai

tum ghaTaon ka ehtimam karo

dil-jalon ko satane aae hain

hum faqiron ki baat kyun puchho
