kaha hai kis ne ki ab to shayad gulab mausam idhar na aae
bhala ye mumkin hai jaane wala palat ke 'firoz' ghar na aae

hua wo aadi kuchh is tarah se qafas ke majbur roz-o-shab ka
riha hua bhi magar parinde ke der tak baal-o-par na aae

akelgi ke azab-e-mausam ab apni hasti pe bhog pyare
ki khud tumhi ne mujhe kaha tha teri dua mein asar na aae

munafiqat ke fareb-sahra mein dhup ne chat li hain aankhen
kadi ruton ki masafaton mein rafaqaton ke shajar na aae

main sham-e-shahr-e-wafa mein 'firoz' us ki aawaz dhundhta hun
jahan wo mil ke bichhad gaya tha wo sang-e-manzil nazar na aae
