khizan ka khauf bhi hai mausam-e-bahaar bhi hai
kabhi tumhaara kabhi apna intizar bhi hai

simatti jati hun badhti hain duriyan jab bhi
ajib shakhs hai nafrat bhi us se pyar bhi hai

hua hai zakhmi mera e'timad jis din se
udas hi nahin dil mera be-qarar bhi hai

alag hai sab se tabiat hi us ki aisi hai
wo be-wafa hai magar us pe e'tibar bhi hai

bahaaren jati hain jaane do tum to ruk jao
bahut dinon se tabiat mein intishaar bhi hai

khadi hun aaj bhi main sang-e-mil ki surat
'kiran' kisi ka zamane se intizar bhi hai
