are ulte zamane mujh pe kya sidha sitam laya
nayan mere the pi ka ghar so ru-e-hijr dikhlaya

chaman ka shahr fasl-e-gul mein jab aabaad tha 'uzlat'
saba ke rang mein gul-gasht kar hazz-e-junun paya

jo dekhun ja khizan mein hae kharistan o patjhad tha
na ghunche the na gul ne bulbulen ne bed ka saya

bahut se zagh o chughdon ka tha ghul ghaughon ka ghaugha tha
falak ki jaan ko ro kar main apna sar le phir aaya
