zamana meri tabahi pe jo udas hua
main apne aap se ai dost ru-shanas hua

mere khulus ke phulon se jo udi khushbu
tumhaare tanz ka mausam bhi bad-hawas hua

jamal-e-sehn-e-gulistan hamin se qaem hai
hamare khun se har phul khush-libas hua

akela ped hi mausam ka war sahta raha
shikasta-barg bhi koi na aas-pas hua

kabhi jo tuta sitara kisi ko aaya nazar
to bazm-e-ghair mein mera hi zikr-e-khas hua

safir-e-subh-e-darakhshan chala jo mashriq se
dayar-e-shab ka shahanshah bad-hawas hua
