maut ki ek alamat hai agar dekha jae

tumhaari bazm se tanha nahin uTha KHurshid

aaKHir ko hans paDenge kisi ek baat par

jo shaKHs na roya tha tapti hui rahon mein

mujhe bhi apna dil-e-rafta yaad aata hai

bikhar gaya to mujhe koi gham nahin is ka

ab se pahle wo meri zat pe tari to na tha

jism ki chaukhaT pe KHam dil ki jabin kar di gai

hum ki apni rah ka patthar samajhte hain use

ya shikan-alud ho jaegi manzar ki jabin

aks ne mere rulaya hai mujhe

bas dariche se lage baiThe rahe ahl-e-safar

KHurshid ab kahan hai kisi ko pata nahin

maqam jin ka muarriKH ke hafize mein nahin

bahut se rog dua mangne se jate hain
