gahe makan se suni gah-e-la-makan se suni
shikast-e-dil ki sada kya kahun kahan se suni

na bu-e-gul ne kaha kuchh na to saba ne kaha
hadis-e-barq-o-sharar hum ne aashiyan se suni

tamam hasil-e-ayyam jis safar mein luta
wo dastan-e-safar umr-e-raegan se suni

zamana manzil-e-gum-gashta ki talash mein hai
ye baat udti hui gard-e-karwan se suni

hai zindagi se jo takhliq-e-fan ka rishta 'naz'
tamam umr ye aawaz saz-e-jaan se suni
