qad o gesu lab-o-ruKHsar ke afsane chale

qayam-e-dair-o-tawaf-e-haram nahin karte

dil ke sunsan jaziron ki KHabar laega

koi hasrat bhi nahin koi tamanna bhi nahin

mahfil mahfil sannaTe hain

lamha lamha shumar kaun kare

main dil-zada hun agar dil-figar wo bhi hain

kabhi teri kabhi apni hayat ka gham hai

koi mazi ke jharokon se sada deta hai

din ko rahte jhil par dariya kinare raat ko

tawil raaton ki KHamushi mein meri fughan thak ke so gai hai

dil ke viran raste bhi dekh

tanhaiyon ke dasht mein akasr mila mujhe

aam hai kucha-o-bazar mein sarkar ki baat

koi batlae ki kya hain yaro
