dil par nigah-e-naz ka jadu jo chal gaya
wo sarhad-e-shuur se aage nikal gaya

chhat par meri utarti nahin dhup aaj-kal
suraj mere khilaf koi chaal chal gaya

logon ne mujh ko apni nazar se gira diya
jis din se main khulus ke sanche mein dhal gaya

kyon hanste hanste aankh se aansu nikal pade
kyon yak-ba-yak bahaar ka mausam badal gaya

gauhar jise samajhte the sab log shahr mein
parkha gaya use to wo patthar nikal gaya

aai thi ban ke aag mere waste bahaar
jis phul ko bhi main ne chhua hath jal gaya

sach bolta nahin hai koi shakhs aaj-kal
dekha jo mera hashr zamana sanbhal gaya

rakhte the phunk phunk ke jab apna har qadam
raste mein kaise panw tumhaara phisal gaya

ummid jin se amn ki barish ki thi 'qamar'
un baadalon ko waqt ka suraj nigal gaya
