jab taaruf se be-niyaz tha main
koi zahid na 'sarfaraaz' tha main

jab hua aashkar tab jaana
apne bare mein koi raaz tha main

ab to sanson mein bhi nahin tartib
pahle waqton mein nai-nawaz tha main

ai meri intiha-e-barbaadi
kis qadar mubtala-e-naz tha main

sab ko qudarat thi khush-kalami par
khamushi mein zaban-daraaz tha main

bhul jata hai ab duaon mein
pahle jis ke liye namaz tha main
