naya mai-kade mein nizam aa gaya

shikwe hum apni zaban par kabhi lae to nahin

tai kar chuke ye zindagi-e-jawedan se hum

KHala-e-fikr ka ehsas arz-e-fan se mila

din o dil pahli hi manzil mein yahan kaam aae

tere halke se tabassum ka ishaara bhi to ho

uf wo ek harf-e-tamanna jo hamare dil mein tha

jawani harif-e-sitam hai to kya gham

ek aah-e-zer-e-lab ke gunahgar ho gae

kitne dil TuTe hain duniya ka KHabar hone tak

rah-e-ulfat mein mile aise bhi diwane mujhe

dabi aawaz mein karti thi kal shikwe zamin mujhse

kam-zarf ehtiyat ki manzil se aae hain

aish hi aish hai na sab gham hai

ahl-e-zahir ko fann-e-jalwa-gari ne mara
