kal zindagi ke khwab ki tabir mil gai
thi jis ki mujh ko justuju wo hir mil gai

apni dua pe tha mujhe kuchh is qadar yaqin
mangi khuda se jo wahi jagir mil gai

jo log be-waqar se phirte the shahr mein
mere sabab se un ko bhi tauqir mil gai

barsen wafa ke chand ki kirnen kuchh is tarah
be-nur aanganon ko bhi tanwir mil gai

qirtas-e-zindagani pe dekha jo ghaur se
tujh jaisi hu-ba-hu koi taswir mil gai

hathon ki ulti sidhi lakiron ko dekh kar
wo shokh kah raha tha ki tahrir mil gai
