ek umr mein ab samjha duniya ka ye hasil tha
jo naqsh tha dhoka tha jo rang tha baatil tha

hangama-e-hasti se fursat jo mili dekha
ek dagh-e-nadamat hi kul zist ka hasil tha

ai mauj-e-lab-e-dariya sar pit na tu apna
jo gharq hua us mein aazurda-e-sahil tha

kuchh zauq-e-samaat hi duniya ko na tha warna
har saz-e-khamoshi mein ek zamzama-e-dil tha

tufan-e-hawadis mein jab ghaur kiya main ne
khud aap hi dariya tha khud aap hi sahil tha

duniya-e-mohabbat mein kaba tha na but-khana
har naqsh-e-qadam tera ek sajda-gah-e-dil tha

har sans se paida tha ek mahshar-e-ruswai
mana ki tera 'razmi' khamosh tha ghafil tha
