jis se ye tabiat baDi mushkil se lagi thi

tum takalluf ko bhi iKHlas samajhte ho faraaz

kuchh mushkilen aisi hain ki aasan nahin hotin

silsile toD gaya wo sabhi jate jate

main KHud ko bhul chuka tha magar jahan wale

chala tha zikr zamane ki bewafai ka

qasida hum faqir logon ka

dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae

hansi-KHushi se bichhaD ja agar bichhaDna hai

dost ban kar bhi nahin sath nibhane wala

hua hai tujhse bichhaDne ke baad ye malum

samne umr paDi hai shab-e-tanhai ki

is zindagi mein itni faraghat kise nasib

shiddat-e-tishnagi mein bhi ghairat-e-mai-kashi rahi

sab KHwahishen puri hon faraaz aisa nahin hai
