tha aadam-e-KHaki ghazab be-zinhaar

ye shahr buland aalam-e-baala se tha

har rose KHushi hai shab-e-gham se pamal

hai mehr-e-karam gunah-gari meri

kal tak thi KHuld KHana-zad-e-dehli

dil se mujhe aane ki hai aan ki aahaT

hum kaun hain ehtimam karne wale

be-barg-o-nawa ki sher-KHwani malum

zuhhad ka ghaflat se hai aurad-o-sujud

duniya ka tamam karKHana hai abas

har fasl mein hote hain jawan sare shajar

yan hum ko diya kya jo wahan par ho nigah

wo waqt-e-shabab wo zamana na raha

jaan jae par ummid na jaegi kabhi

KHud rafta ho badmast ho kaisa hai mizaj
