tere jate hi ye aalam hai jaise

dosti aam hai lekin ai dost

tamam umr kiya humne intizar-e-bahaar

hum ko manzil ne bhi gumrah kiya

teri talash hai ya tujhse ijtinab hai ye

zamane bhar ke gham ya ek tera gham

mohabbat karne wale kam na honge

dil mein ek shor sa uTha tha kabhi

gham-e-zindagani ke sab silsile

teri talash mein jab hum kabhi nikalte hain

ye dilkashi kahan meri sham-o-sahar mein thi

ye tamiz-e-ishq-o-hawas nahin hai haqiqaton se gurez hai

dil se aati hai baat lab pe hafiz

gham-e-zamana teri zulmaten hi kya kam thin

nazar se hadd-e-nazar tak tamam tariki
