din kat rahe hain kashmakash-e-rozgar mein
dam ghut raha hai saya-e-abr-e-bahaar mein

aati hai apne jism ke jalne ki bu mujhe
lutte hain nikhaton ke subu jab bahaar mein

guzra udhar se jab koi jhonka to chaunk kar
dil ne kaha ye aa gae hum kis dayar mein

main ek pal ke ranj-e-farawan mein kho gaya
murjha gae zamane mere intizar mein

hai kunj-e-afiyat tujhe pa kar pata chala
kya hamhame the gard-e-sar-e-rah-guzar mein
