hum hue taswir ab pahla sa wo aalam kahan
rang hain sab pairahan mein kho gae hain hum kahan

muzmahil hai subh ka shoala dhuan hai dasht par
dekhna hai ud ke jati hai magar shabnam kahan

dast-e-qatil ke liye honton pe ab bhi marhaba
khun-e-ahl-e-dil ki khatir sina-e-matam kahan

daman-e-dil mein samete hain abhi tufan kai
sail-e-ashk-o-nala-e-gham ho gae hain kam kahan

dil dhadakta hai har ek aahat pe ahl-e-hijr ka
jaante hain wo ki aaega koi is dam kahan

ud ke aata hai ghubar-e-rahguzar aankhon mein phir
dhundhta hun kho gaya hai dida-pur-nam kahan
