jo haalat ab hai is dil ki ye haalat phir kahan hogi
ghazal kah len idhar mail tabiat phir kahan hogi

mila hai ab jo gham mujh ko rahega umr bhar dil mein
jo shiddat aaj hai is mein wo shiddat phir kahan hogi

abhi ek dusre ko dekh len donon nazar bhar ke
bichhadne ka hai waqt aaya ye qurbat phir kahan hogi

milenge phir ye kahte ho kabhi wapas jo aae to
kahan aise miloge tum ye surat phir kahan hogi

juda ho kar bhi tujh se zindagi ai dost guzregi
bahar-surat magar ye khubsurat phir kahan hogi

shikayat thi tumhein hum se hamein bhi tum se shikwa tha
karenge kis se phir shikwa shikayat phir kahan hogi

chalen 'masud' haal-e-dil ab un se apna kah den hum
milegi phir kise fursat ye jurat phir kahan hogi
