aql walon mein hai guzar mera

wo shakl wo shanaKHt wo paikar ki aarzu

har-dam badan ki qaid ka rona fuzul hai

subh-sawera daftar biwi bachche mahfil ninden raat

hansna rona pana khona marna jina pani par

koi to baat hai pichhle pahar mein raaton ke

jise parchhain samjhe the haqiqat mein na paikar ho

KHayal aaya hamein bhi KHuda ki rahmat ka

be-sabab kuchh bhi nahin hota hai ya yun kahiye

to kya palaT ke wahi din phir aane wale hain

phislan ye kinaron pa ye Thahraw nadi ka

yahin se rah koi aasman ko jati thi

qadam baDha to lun aabaadiyon ki samt magar
