chain paDta hai dil ko aaj na kal

din Dhala sham hui phul kahin lahrae

sab ke jalwe nazar se guzre hain

dil hai aaina-e-hairat se do-chaar aaj ki raat

ret ki tarah kinaron pe hain Darne wale

kisi ki ishwa-gari se ba-ghair-e-fasl-e-bahaar

yahi tha waqf teri mahfil-e-tarab ke liye

kaho buton se ki hum taba sada rakhte hain

gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan ka nishan hai ki jo tha

ye arz-e-shauq hai aaraish-e-bayan bhi to ho

dil ka moamla nigah-e-ashna ke sath

hum bin gham-e-yar bhi jiye hain

aai sahar qarib to maine paDhi ghazal

waiz-e-shahr KHuda hai mujhe malum na tha

gulon ki KHun-shudgi ko shaguftagi na samajh
