ek parinda sar-e-diwar bhi baqi na raha
ab to parwaz ka didar bhi baqi na raha

habs aisa tha ki sae mein sulag utthe gulab
lu chali aisi ki gulzar bhi baqi na raha

log dam sadh gae khauf ne ghera aise
koi andesha-e-be-kar bhi baqi na raha

hadisa kya hua bikhre hue sannate mein
lafz se rishta-e-izhaar bhi baqi na raha

ek wahshat hi mataa-e-gham-e-jaanan nikli
lutf-e-dildari-e-gham-khwar bhi baqi na raha

jaan sisakti rahi khwahish ke bayabanon mein
shauq-e-har-lahza ka aazar bhi baqi na raha

dil bhi yaadon ki kadi dhup mein kumhla sa gaya
aur koi saya-e-diwar bhi baqi na raha

aisi virani hai khud maut bhi katra ke chali
koi marne ka saza-war bhi baqi na raha
