fitna-e-shams-o-qamar se nikle
halqa-e-sham-o-sahar se nikle

kya kahen kitne sharar kitne gul
mere daman-e-hunar se nikle

hath uthane ki zarurat na rahi
hum duaon ke asar se nikle

kitne tufan rahe dil mein nihan
kitne andaz nazar se nikle

wo bhi aangan mein khada kanpta tha
hum bhi sahme hue ghar se nikle

samne barf ki diwar thi 'shan'
hum jab us rahguzar se nikle
