gham ne dilon ko ram kiya aur guzar gaya
zalim ne apna kaam kiya aur guzar gaya

sayyaad kuchh to khatir-e-ahal-e-wafa kare
ye kya asir-e-dam kiya aur guzar gaya

ai saqi-e-bahaar tere zauq ke nisar
har gul ko ek jam kiya aur guzar gaya

aaya tha but-kada bhi meri rah-e-shauq mein
main ne to ek salam kiya aur guzar gaya

ye kaenat hai ki kisi ne ba-sad hijab
ek khas jalwa aam kiya aur guzar gaya

aaya qarib 'kaif' koi mast-e-naz-e-husn
dali nazar ghulam kiya aur guzar gaya
