gham ke hathon mere dil par jo saman guzra hai
hadisa aisa zamane mein kahan guzra hai

zindagi ka hai khulasa wahi ek lamha-e-shauq
jo teri yaad mein ai jaan-e-jahan guzra hai

haal-e-dil gham se ye hai jaise kisi sahra mein
abhi ek qafila-e-nauha-garan guzra hai

bazm-e-doshin ko karo yaad ki is ka har rind
raunaq-e-bar-gah-e-pir-e-mughan guzra hai

pa-ba-gul jo the wo aazurda nazar aate hain
shayad is rah se wo sarw-e-rawan guzra hai

nigrani-e-dil-o-dida hui hai dushwar
koi jab se meri jaanib nigaran guzra hai

haal-e-dil sun ke wo aazurda hain shayad un ko
is hikayat pe shikayat ka guman guzra hai

wo gul-afshani-e-guftar ka paikar 'salik'
aaj kuche se tere ashk-fishan guzra hai
