chala main jaanib-e-manzil to ye hua malum

jo phul jhaD gae the jo aansu bikhar gae

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

kal sham parindon ko uDte hue yun dekha

humne har samt bichha rakkhi hain aankhen apni

aashiyanon mein na jab lauTe parinde to sadid

dam-e-visal teri aanch is tarah aai

shikwa kiya zamane ka to usne ye kaha

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

tu jism hai to mujhse lipaT kar kalam kar

uske baghair zindagi kitni fuzul hai

pankh hila kar sham gai hai is aangan se

yun tasalli ko to ek yaad bhi kafi thi magar

koi bhi pechidgi hael nahin anwar-sadid

dukh ke taq pe sham Dhale
