gham se bikhra na paemal hua
main to gham se hi be-misal hua

waqt guzra to mauja-e-gul tha
waqt thahra to mah-o-sal hua

hum gae jis shajar ke sae mein
us ke girne ka ehtimal hua

bas ki wahshat thi kar-e-duniya se
kuchh bhi hasil na hasb-e-haal hua

sun ke iran ke nae qisse
kuchh ajab sufiyon ka haal hua

jaane zindan mein kya kaha us ne
jis ka kal raat intiqal hua

kis liye zulm hai rawa is dam
jis ne puchha wo paemal hua

jis talluq pe fakhr tha mujh ko
wo talluq bhi ek wabaal hua

ai 'hasan' neza-e-rafiqan se
sar bachana bhi ek kamal hua
