badli hui hai charKH ki raftar aaj-kal
mujhko kya faeda gar koi raha mere baad
khilaya partaw-e-ruKHsar ne kya gul samundar mein
kuchh tabiat aaj-kal pata hun ghabrai hui
nae ghamze nae andaz nazar aate hain
bazi pe dil laga hai koi dil-lagi nahin
nikali jae kis tarkib se taqrir ki surat
kisi ki kisi ko mohabbat nahin hai
ab koi tera misl nahin naz-o-ada mein
nek-o-bad ki jise KHabar hi nahin
mere liye hazar kare ehtimam hirs
jo chaar aadamiyon mein gunah karte hain
waqt par aate hain na jate hain
gharib aadmi ko ThaT padshahi ka
KHuda ke fazl se hum haq pe hain baatil se kya nisbat
