ham-kalami mein dar-o-diwar se
kitne jazbe rah gae izhaar se

dhup badhte hi juda ho jaega
saya-e-diwar bhi diwar se

hijr ka lamha mukammal ho gaya
raushni jab kat gai minar se

tut kar bikhre khud apne sog mein
dil laga kar dard ke rukhsar se

nim-wa galiyan chura kar lai hain
kaisa sapna dida-e-bedar se

kitne hi mayus lamhon ke bhanwar
hum ne nape zehn ke parkar se

umr bhar 'tariq' ulajhte hi rahe
jism ki girti hui diwar se
