jo yaad-e-yar se guft-o-shunid kar li hai
safar ka marhala-e-saKHt hi ghanimat tha
lafz bhi jis ahd mein kho baiThe apna etibar
kabhi to sard laga dopahar ka suraj bhi
hudud-e-waqt ke darwaze muntazir hain nasim
ba-nam-e-amn-o-aman kaun mara jaega
diye ab shahr mein raushan nahin hain
jo baat ki thi hawa mein bikharne wali thi
aawazon ki bhiD mein itne shor-sharabe mein
