apne wahm-o-guman se nikla
main andhere makan se nikla

be-rukhi dekh ab zamane ki
muddaa kyun zaban se nikla

samt ka gham na tha safine ko
ye alam baadban se nikla

dhup barsa rahi thin talwaren
phir bhi main saeban se nikla

waqt mohlat na dega phir tum ko
tir jis dam kaman se nikla

aa gaya lijiye sahil-e-hasti
main bade imtihan se nikla

zindagi ka naya mizaj 'niyaz'
dard ke khandan se nikla
