jis din se apna tarz-e-faqirana chhuT gaya

ab bhi hudud-e-sud-o-ziyan se guzar gaya

kisi to kaam zamane ke sogwar aae

chale to kaT hi jaega safar aahista aahista

koi rafiq baham hi na ho to kya kije

kabhi jhiDki se kabhi pyar se samjhate rahe

buzurgo, naseho, farman-rawao

sahar jitegi ya sham-e-ghariban dekhte rahna

yun to wo har kisi se milti hai

hui ijad nai tarz-e-KHushamad ki nahin

wo ahd ahd hi kya hai jise nibhao bhi

kaf-e-momin se na darwaza-e-dauran se mila

sine mein KHizan aankhon mein barsat rahi hai

qadam qadam pe tamanna-e-iltifat to dekh

gham-e-dauran ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanan ke chalan
