jo phul jhaD gae the jo aansu bikhar gae

kal sham parindon ko uDte hue yun dekha

chala main jaanib-e-manzil to ye hua malum

sail-e-zaman mein Dub gae mashhur-e-zamana log

humne har samt bichha rakkhi hain aankhen apni

pankh hila kar sham gai hai is aangan se

jagti aankh se jo KHwab tha dekha anwar

aashiyanon mein na jab lauTe parinde to sadid

khuli zaban to zarf un ka ho gaya zahir

dam-e-visal teri aanch is tarah aai

KHak hun lekin sarapa nur hai mera wajud

zamin ka rizq hun lekin nazar falak par hai

ghup-andhere mein bhi us ka jism tha chandi ka shahr

uske baghair zindagi kitni fuzul hai

shikwa kiya zamane ka to usne ye kaha
