kal yunhi tera tazkira nikla
phir to baaton ka silsila nikla

gham hi taqdir ka likha nikla
jis ko chaha wo bewafa nikla

ishq mein bhi siyasaten dekhin
qurbaton mein bhi fasla nikla

apna chehra hi mo'atabar paya
jhuta har ek aaina nikla

gham-e-dauran ka tajziya jo kiya
tera mera moamla nikla

aa gai darmiyan jab duniya
phir na koi bhi rasta nikla

sare aazar hain 'matin' wahi
shahr bhi dasht-e-karbala nikla
