aaj ka din bhi guzar jaega
qafila laut ke ghar jaega

rah katti hi nahin hai apni
sath kab tak ye safar jaega

zakhm taza hai to dil dukhta hai
waqt ke sath ye bhar jaega

aazma gardish-e-dauran tu bhi
aaina aur sanwar jaega

bhagte daudte lamhon ka safar
kab achanak hi thahar jaega

subh khilta hua har phul 'shamim'
sham aai to bikhar jaega
