hum tere aalam-e-wahshat mein sahaare hue hain
waqt badla to hamin pahle kinare hue hain

muntazir aaj bhi hain takte hain tera rasta
ek muddat se miyan tujh ko pukare hue hain

hijr mein tere jo nikle hain meri aankh se ashk
gir pade jab ye zamin par to sitare hue hain

ruthne ka tere ab dukh nahin hoga hum ko
hum isi karb mein ek umr guzare hue hain

kabhi ye shahr shanasa bhi hua karta tha
ab yahan sab ke sab ehsas ke mare hue hain

neamat-e-ishq mayassar nahin aati sab ko
sahab-e-zar bhi yahan hath pasare hue hain
