rahe hai aaj kal kuchh is tarah charḳh-e-kuhan bigḌā
mare hī āshiyāñ se jaise ye nazm-e-chaman bigḌā
kahāñ guzrī hai saarī raat kuchh ham bhī suneñ āḳhir
ye ruḳh ye chāñdnī chhiTkī ye tār-e-pairahan bigḌā
baras kar rah ga.iiñ kaliyāñ chaman ke farsh-e-rañgīñ par
pakaḌ kar shāḳh jab kal shaam vo ġhuncha-dahan bigḌā
tirī nazroñ hī tak thā sab salīqa ahl-e-mahfil kā
tire uThte hī jān-e-husn rañg-e-anjuman bigḌā
kise aatā thā jiinā is se pahle terī duniyā meñ
sañvārā hai mohabbat ne mazāq-e-rūh-o-tan bigḌā
gilā thā bevafā.ī kā hameñ par un se kyā kahiye
vo kahte haiñ ki hai kuchh in dinoñ terā chalan bigḌā
