intizar ki had tak intizar karna tha
eatibar ki had tak eatibar karna tha

haal-e-dil to kahna tha mukhtasar magar qasid
ikhtisar ki had tak ikhtisar karna tha

khwab ho ki bedari-e-ah-o-nala-o-zari
ikhtiyar ki had tak ikhtiyar karna tha

us ne hasb-e-asaish ki adu ko fahmaish
khaksar ki had tak khaksar karna tha

nash bhi meri us ne qabr mein na rahne di
be-dayar ki had tak be-dayar karna tha

yas ho ki sarmasti chaak jama-e-hasti
tar tar ki had tak tar tar karna tha

ai 'tamiz' yaron par na-tawan sahaaron par
inhisar ki had tak inhisar karna tha
