dagh dhul gae ab to dard mein kami si hai
zindagi na jaane kyun phir bhi ajnabi si hai

kal jis aabgine se mauj-e-mai chhalakti thi
aaj us aabgine ki aankh mein nami si hai

kaif-e-chashm-e-saqi mein kuchh kami nahin lekin
jashn-e-mai-gusaran mein aaj be-dili si hai

gardish-e-jahan mein bhi kuchh asar hai laghzish ka
aur nabz-e-hasti bhi kuchh ruki ruki si hai

saz-e-arzu chup hai ruh mein hai sannata
dil mein jo bhi surat hai ab miti miti si hai
