hama-waqt jo mere sath hain ye ubharte dubte sae se
kisi raushni ke sarab hain ki mile har apne parae se

kham-e-jada se main piyaada-pa kabhi dekh leta hun khwab-sa
kahin dur jaise dhuan utha kisi bhuli-bisri sarae se

uthi mauj-e-dard to yak-ba-yak mere aas-pas bikhar gae
mah-e-nim-shab ke idhar udhar jo laraz rahe the kinae se

mila mujh ko rah mein ek nagar jahan koi shakhs na tha magar
wo zamin shagufta shagufta si wo makan nahae nahae se

mere kar-zar-e-hayat mein rahe umr-bhar ye muqable
kabhi saya dab gaya dhup se kabhi dhup dab gai sae se
