ahd-e-ulfat mein ye khadsha kab tha
tum se bichhdenge ye socha kab tha

raat aaina jo dekha to laga
itna viran mera chehra kab tha

mujh pe ilzam lagane wale
tu mujhe thik se samjha kab tha

yaad aaengi wo rim-jhim aankhen
ghar se chalte hue socha kab tha

us ko nazdik se dekha 'arif'
aaj jaisa hai kal aisa kab tha
