dar pe rahe ye dida-e-giryan tamam-umr
lekin bujhi na aatish-e-hijran tamam-umr

dala hai us ko jazb-e-mohabbat ne chah mein
dekha na jis ne tha kabhi zindan tamam-umr

waqe mein ye hai harf-e-shikayat bhi kya kahen
nikla na koi jo mera arman tamam-umr

pamal ko bhi hum ne kiya apna ham-jalis
chhana kiya main khak-e-bayaban tamam-umr

raaton ko mere waste uthta hai bar bar
bhulunga dard-e-dil ka na ehsan tamam-umr

kya mujh ko apni yaad se khilqat ne kho diya
samjha kiya main aap ko insan tamam-umr

'arif' likhen hain is mein mazamin-e-intishaar
howega jama mera na diwan tamam-umr
