aaj-kal kaba kalisa ho gaya
dil par ek kafir ka qabza ho gaya

dafatan dil ko mere kya ho gaya
kis pe mail kis pe shaida ho gaya

be-qarari ka sabab khulta nahin
baithe baithe ye mujhe kya ho gaya

la-dawa kyon ho gaya mera maraz
kya khafa mujh se masiha ho gaya

wo ye farmate hain hum samjhe nahin
muddaa goya muamma ho gaya

be-talluq ho gae duniya se hum
jab se dil ko ishq tera ho gaya

ab nahin pahchanta koi mujhe
fart-e-gham se ab ye naqsha ho gaya

kar diya mahw un ko un ke husn ne
dekh kar aaina sakta ho gaya

sun ke sakit sab hue 'hamid' ke sher
dam-ba-khud jalse ka jalsa ho gaya
