wo aai sham-e-gham waqf-e-bala hone ka waqt aaya
tadapne lotne ka dam fana hone ka waqt aaya

unhen apni jafaon par pashemani hui aakhir
sharik-e-matam-e-ahl-e-wafa hone ka waqt aaya

udasi har sahar kahti hai mujh se bazm-e-anjum ki
uth ai gham-dida uth mahw-e-buka hone ka waqt aaya

tera milna kise milta hai mamnun-e-muqaddar hun
magar afsos milte hi juda hone ka waqt aaya

bahaar aai har ek zarre se phuti husn ki duniya
fareb-e-ma-siwa ke haq-numa hone ka waqt aaya

qayamat-khez hai husn-e-chaman ai bulbul-e-nalan
tere nalon se phir mahshar bapa hone ka waqt aaya

meri tuti hui kashti thapede mauj-e-tufan ke
khuda-e-pak tere nakhuda hone ka waqt aaya

jawani ja chuki 'mahrum' zauq-e-arzu kaisa
tumhaare be-niyaz-e-muddaa hone ka waqt aaya
