talluqat ki garmi na e'tibar ki dhup
jhulas rahi hai zamane ko intishaar ki dhup

gham-e-hayat ke sae muhib hain warna
kise pasand nahin hai khayal-e-yar ki dhup

abhi se amn ki thandak talash karte ho
abhi to chamki hai yaro salib-o-dar ki dhup

alam ki rahguzar par bahut hi kaam aain
tumhaari yaad ki shamen hamare pyar ki dhup

kamand dal den suraj pe aao mil-jul kar
ab aur tez na hone den rozgar ki dhup

labon pe mohr jigar khun-chakan nazar hairan
ab aur kaise jalaegi ye bahaar ki dhup

tumhaare shahr ki shaida-ba-dast yaadon ko
talash karti rahi dil ke kohsar ki dhup

bahut qarib hain sae hayat-e-nau ke 'umid'
bahut hi jald dhalegi ab intizar ki dhup
