jaan-e-gulshan jo hue wo gul-e-tar dekhe hain
hum ne mausam ke hasin rang kidhar dekhe hain

tum se milte hain jo hum un ki tasalli ke liye
warna aise to bahut sham-o-sahar dekhe hain

aalam-e-be-sar-o-saman nahin guzra tum par
tum ne kab aag mein jalte hue ghar dekhe hain

hakim-e-waqt dilon par thi hukumat un ki
hum ne aise bhi kai khak-basar dekhe hain

apne hathon hi mita dete hain khud apna nishan
aise insan nahin dekhe magar dekhe hain

in gali-kuchon pe ye waqt bhi aaya 'manzar'
shahar walon ke badan khun mein tar dekhe hain
