wafa ki aaKHiri manzil bhi aa rahi hai qarib

hazar gardish-e-sham-o-sahar se guzre hain

wo the pahlu mein aur thi chandni raat

husn majbur-e-jafa hai shayad

dil ko aae ki nigahon ko yaqin aa jae

bujhi bujhi si sitaron ki raushni hai abhi

har zarra ubhar ke kah raha hai

uThi hai jo qadmon se wo daman se aDi hai

miTi miTi hui yaadon ke dagh kya jalte?

ye kya ki ek jahan ko karo waqf-e-iztirab

jaane kis ki thi KHata yaad nahin

nala-e-saba tanha phul ki hansi tanha

KHamoshi kalam ho gai hai

nazar ko haal-e-dil ka tarjuman kahna hi paDta hai

afsana-ha-e-dard sunate chale gae
