gar us ka silsila bhi umr-e-jawedan se mile
kisi ko khak sukun marg-e-na-gahan se mile

koi zamin se bhi pahunchae aasman ko payam
payam ahl-e-zamin ko to aasman se mile

khud apni gum-shudagi se jinhen shikayat hai
tu hi bata unhen tera nishan kahan se mile

suragh-e-umr-e-guzishta mile kahin se 'hafiz'
suragh-e-umr-e-guzishta magar kahan se mile
