apne hone ki arzani khatm hui
mushkil se ye tan-asani khatm hui

tujh ko kya malum hamari binai
kaise ho kar pani-pani khatm hui

bahta hai chup-chap bichhad kar choti se
dariya ki pur-shor rawani khatm hui

mitti ki aawaz suni jab mitti ne
sanson ki sab khincha-tani khatm hui

dil par sare mausam bit gae 'jawed'
yani khushbu-dar kahani khatm hui
