aa jao ki mil kar hum jine ki bina dalen
ye bar-e-hayat ai dost uthne ka nahin tanha

duniya pe musallat hai auham ki tariki
hum hain ki jalae hain ek sham-e-yaqin tanha

muhtaj-e-tawajjoh hain kuchh aur masail bhi
kyun zehn mein phirti hai ek nan-e-jawin tanha

har murgh-e-khush-alhan ab parwaz pe mail hai
gulshan mein na rah jae sayyaad kahin tanha

sajde dar-e-jaanan par lakhon ne kiye lekin
mear-e-wafa thahri meri hi jabin tanha

ek husn-e-tasawwur hai jo zist ka sathi hai
wo koi bhi manzil ho hum log nahin tanha

nazdik 'hafiz' is ke rind aaen to kya aaen
jagir hai zahid ki sarmaya-e-den tanha
