dast-e-ulfat badh gae main un ka shaida ho gaya
hijr ka gham is qadar khaya ki haiza ho gaya

hum the m a pas interwiew mein phir bhi rah gae
matric lekin minister ka nawasa ho gaya

wo samajhta tha ada hai ho agar tirchhi nigah
mashq ki itni ki aakhir wo patankha ho gaya

dekhta tha munh raha jis waqt tak ye aaina
ab dil-e-sad-chaak mera un ka kangha ho gaya

tir ulfat ka kahin pura kahin aadha laga
koi andha ho gaya aur koi kana ho gaya

qais ko tha ishq phir laila ko ulfat ho gai
ibtida mein nar jo tha aakhir wo mada ho gaya

kanth mala us ke nikla ho gaya wo talkh-kaam
jo ki mitha aam tha kadwa karaila ho gaya

yaad aaya jabki majnun tha kabhi lambi khajur
ya wo din hai sukh kar bilkul chhuara ho gaya
