dilon mein khar labon par gila milega mujhe
khafa rahega zamana to kya milega mujhe

ye kya khabar thi mulaqat un se hogi agar
nazar se ta-ba-nazar fasla milega mujhe

tilism-e-tirgi-e-shab kahin to tutega
koi charagh kahin to jala milega mujhe

bahaar-e-bagh-e-tamanna koi to dekhega
kabhi to dil mein koi jhankta milega mujhe

zamana hoga tere sath rah-guzar mein jahan
mita mita sa tera naqsh-e-pa milega mujhe

darenge log wafa ke khayal se 'nazmi'
meri wafaon ka jis din sila milega mujhe
