bisat-e-bazm ulat kar kahan gaya saqi
faza khamosh, subu chup, udas paimane

na ab wo jalwa-e-yusuf na misr ka bazar
na ab wo husn ke tewar, na ab wo diwane

na harf-e-haq, na wo mansur ki zaban, na wo dar
na karbala, na wo katte saron ke nazrane

na bayazid, na shibli, na ab junaid koi
na ab o soz, na aahen, na haw-hu khane

khayal-o-khwab ki surat bikhar gaya mazi
na silsile na wo qisse na ab wo afsane

na qadr-dan, na koi ham-zaban, na insan dost
faza-e-shahr se behtar hain ab to virane

badal gae hain taqaze mizaj-e-waqt ke sath
na wo sharab, na saqi, na ab wo mai-khane
