be-nam saaton ka safar khatm ho chala
lo imtihan-e-fikr-o-nazar khatm ho chala

wan tirgi-e-mahfil-e-yaran na mit saki
yan roghan-e-charagh-e-hunar khatm ho chala

ehsan hai mashiyyat-e-parwardigar ka
hangama-e-hayat-e-bashar khatm ho chala

mai-khana-e-hayat se rindo nikal chalo
paimana-e-dua ka asar khatm ho chala

ai jaan-e-intizar naya zakhm de mujhe
lutf-e-bahaar-e-dida-e-tar khatm ho chala

dikhla ke aaftab-e-darakhshan ki ek jhalak
afsana-e-numud-e-sahar khatm ho chala

us ne ek aur dagh-e-jigar de diya 'saba'
jab e'tibar-e-soz-e-jigar khatm ho chala
