kat gaya rishtha-e-ulfat jo tera nam aaya
dil wafadar tha lekin na mere kaam aaya

ishq ke hathon charagh ek sar-e-sham aaya
tira-bakhti mein mera dil hi mere kaam aaya

talab-e-mulk-e-adam se na jahan dekh saka
abhi manzil pe na utra tha ki paigham aaya

nazish-e-dahr na tha main to pas-e-murdan kyun
mahfil-e-ghair mein sau bar mera nam aaya

shama roi to wo kuchh der sahi turbat par
khair koi to zamane mein mere kaam aaya
