khud se hua juda to mila martaba tujhe
aazad ho ke mujh se magar kya mila tujhe

ek lahza apni aankh mein tu jhank le agar
aaun nazar mein bikhra hua ja-ba-ja tujhe

tha mujh ko tera phenka hua phul hi bahut
lafzon ka ehtimam bhi karna pada tujhe

ye aur baat main ne sadaen hazar din
aai na dasht-e-haul se ek bhi sada tujhe

tu ne bhi khud ko markaz-e-alam samajh liya
lag hi gai zamane ki aakhir hawa tujhe

kya qahr hai ki rangon ke is izhdiham mein
juz rang-e-zard aur na kuchh bhi mila tujhe

nazron ne tar tar kiya aasman tamam
aai na ras taron bhari ye rida tujhe

daim rahe safar mein tera naqa-e-khayal
deta rahun main roz yahi bad-dua tujhe

kahne ko chand gam tha ye arsa-e-hayat
lekin tamam umr hi chalna pada tujhe
