jo khat hai shikasta hai jo aks hai tuta hai
ya husn tera jhuta ya aaina jhuta hai

hum shukr karen kis ka shaki hon to kis ke hun
rahzan ne bhi luta hai rahbar ne bhi luta hai

yaad aaya in aankhon ka paiman-e-wafa jab bhi
saghar mere hathon se be-sakhta chhuta hai

har chehre pe likkha hai ek qissa-e-mazlumi
bedard zamane ne har shakhs ko luta hai

manzil ki tamanna mein sar-garm-e-safar hain sab
kaun us ke liye roe jo rah mein chhuta hai

allah re 'hafiz' us ka ye zauq-e-khud-arai
jab zulf sanwari hai ek aaina tuta hai
