hasil-e-hijr-o-intizar kahan
main kahan aur wasl-e-yar kahan

tum agar ab sharik-e-haal nahin
hum bhi hain apne gham-gusar kahan

gham-nasibi ka gham nahin lekin
gham-nasibon ka e'tibar kahan

daur-daura hai be-qarari ka
ab kisi ko kahin qarar kahan

dil kisi kaam mein nahin lagta
ab wo zauq-e-nashat-e-kar kahan

wo to ek ittifaq tha shaukat
lazzat-e-did bar-bar kahan
