khizan ke dosh pe hai fasl-e-gul ka rakht abhi
ki barg-o-bar se khali hai har darakht abhi

abhi ghamon se ibarat hai sar-nawisht-e-bashar
ki aasman pare hai zamin sakht abhi

samajh shua-e-burida na sirf jugnu ko
kiran kiran ka jigar hoga lakht lakht abhi

mata-e-jaan bhi use pesh kar chuka hun main
mere raqib ka lahja hai kyun karakht abhi

tamam raat raha mai-kada-nashin 'jafar'
gaya hai uth ke yahan se wo nek-bakht abhi
