gardishon mein bhi hum rasta pa gae
jis gali se chale the wahin aa gae

na-gahan us ne jab pursish-e-haal ki
aankh nam ho gai hont tharra gae

zikr jab bhi chhida hai wafa ka kahin
jaane kyun hum ko kuchh dost yaad aa gae

hath ulajhne lage jeb-o-dastan se kyun
ai junun kya bahaaron ke din aa gae

wo nazar uth gai jab sar-e-mai-kada
khud ba-khud jam se jam takra gae

aise nazuk to 'iqbaal' hum bhi na the
log nadan the hum se takra gae
