har chot par zamane ki hum muskurae hain
lekin tere khayal mein aansu bahae hain

had ko pahunch gai hai meri na-mardiyan
manzil ke pas aa ke qadam dagmagae hain

ai zulf-e-kaenat tujhe kya khabar ki hum
kin pech o kham se chhut ke tere pas aae hain

ai jaan-e-kaenat tere intizar mein
hum ne kai charagh jalae bujhae hain

jo chal pade the azm-e-safar le ke thak gae
jo ladkhada rahe the wo manzil pe aae hain

'hairat' nizam-e-kohna ki tarikiyon mein bhi
hum ne nizam-e-taza ke dipak jalae hain
