khizan ke daur mein khilti bahaar mere liye
khuda ne bheja hai ek gham-gusar mere liye

wo kah raha hai main us ko 'aziz hun itni
karega waqf wo lail-o-nahaar mere liye

kathin safar ye agar us ke sath guzre to
ye sang-o-khisht bhi hain lala-zar mere liye

kada hai waqt to nazren chura ke guzra hai
jo kar raha tha zamana nisar mere liye

suna hai nazmen bhi likhta hai ab judai par
ki ho raha hai bada dil-figar mere liye

dar-e-batul ki adna si ek kaniz hun main
yahi hawala hai sad-iftikhar mere liye
