guzar gai hai mujhe reg-zar karti hui

ghulam sar pe ibaadat abhi na rakkhi jae

KHwab sahra teri tabir nikal aai hai

ghar-bar kahan kucha o bazar meri jaan

ek manzar iztirabi ek manzar se ziyaada

lahu mein Dubta manzar KHilaf rahta hai

ek arz-e-muddaa hone se pahle

dekhte dekhte jab maut sitare ki hui

saron par taj rakkhe the qadam par taKHt rakkha tha

bhaTak rahi hai ruh ke andar lazzat sukhi gili si

kisi bhi shahr ka mausam suhana chhoD dete hain

wo ek chaTan jo pani hui saliqe se

shahr ka shahr hai be-zar kahan jaun main

lab-e-dariya muradon ka makan kaisa raha hoga

dariya mein bahut kuchh hai rawani ke alawa
