ye kis se aaj barham ho gai hai
ki zulf-e-yar pur-kham ho gai hai

tapak padte hain waqt-e-subh aansu
ye aadat misl-e-shabnam ho gai hai

ba-zahir garm hai bazar-e-ulfat
magar jins-e-wafa kam ho gai hai

zahe tasir-e-ku-e-khak-e-jaanan
mere zakhmon pe marham ho gai hai

bas ai dast-e-ajal kuchh rahm bhi kar
ki duniya bazm-e-matam ho gai hai

nahin khauf-e-shab-e-hijran mujhe ab
meri gham-khwar o hamdam ho gai hai

yahi haalat hai ek muddat se 'mahrum'
tabiat khugar-e-gham ho gai hai
