but-gari-e-jamal mein guzra
ahd-e-kufr ek haal mein guzra

waqt guzra jo be-khayali mein
wo tere hi khayal mein guzra

kuchh kata waqt ranj-e-duri mein
kuchh khayal-e-visal mein guzra

hae wo zakhm jin ka mausam-e-gul
dahshat-e-indimal mein guzra

phir dhadakne laga hai dil apna
kya kahun kya khayal mein guzra

nigah-e-dost ka bhi mausam-e-lutf
dil hi ki dekh-bhaal mein guzra

ek lamhe mein kitne sal kate
ek lamha bhi sal mein guzra
