mile jo us se to yaadon ke par nikal aae

zamin ke pas kisi dard ka ilaj nahin

muddaton ghaw kiye jis ke badan par humne

haweli chhoDne ka waqt aa gaya arshad

ye intizar nahin shama hai rifaqat ki

main apne aapko bhi dekhne se qasir hun

ye kis ko yaad kiya ruh ki zarurat ne

ishq marhun-e-hikayat-o-guman bhi hoga

sar-bulandi meri tanhai tak aa pahunchi hai

ye duniya akbar zulmon ki hum majburi ki anarkali

kuchh sitare meri palkon pe chamakte hain abhi

unhen ye zom ki be-sud hai sada-e-suKHan

dil ko malum hai kya baat batani hai use

gham-e-jahan o gham-e-yar do kinare hain

halqa-e-dil se na niklo ki sar-e-khucha-e-KHak
