baja ki lutf hai duniya mein shor karne ka
nasha kuchh aur hai gum-nam maut marne ka

abas hai zoam samundar ke par utarne ka
ye silsila hai faqat dubne ubharne ka

ajab saman tha ki tazlil bhi thi kaif-angez
wo mera waqt teri sidhiyan utarne ka

kafan mein panw hilen pairahan mein lash chale
hamara ahd na jine ka hai na marne ka

ye aagahi ka maraz la-ilaj hai baba
bukhar utarne ka hai ye na zakhm bharne ka

yahi wo saat-e-fan jis mein aap hon na mukhil
yahi hai waqt magar hum se baat karne ka

sabhi ne pyar se sarf-e-nazar kiya hum ko
na aaya 'saz' tariqa hamein akharne ka
