fasl-e-gul se zar-e-khizan tak hai
'umr donon ke darmiyan tak hai

fasle hain bahut kathin is ke
rah-guzar dil se jo zaban tak hai

ek din khal-o-khad ubhaaregi
jo haqiqat mere guman tak hai

waqt kar dega aaina khud hi
kaun sa ham-safar kahan tak hai

khush-gumani hai jo mere andar
wo bhi shayad tere bayan tak hai

kash hoti dilon ke bich 'munir'
ye rasai jo aasman tak hai
