khizan ko kaif-e-bahaaran to ho gaya malum
magar chaman pe jo guzri hai us ko kya malum

talash karta hun muddat se apne aap ko main
kahan pe tut gaya kho gaya khuda malum

mujhe ye naz ki harf-e-wafa pe qaem hun
unhen ghurur ki ulfat ka muddaa malum

khayal-o-khwab ki duniya mein bhejne wale
bhatak raha hun andhere mein tujh ko kya malum

wo log waqt ke dhaare badalte rahte hain
jinhen ye waqt ka andaz-o-silsila malum

wo ek shakhs jo kanton pe raqs karta tha
usi ka khun hai gulshan ki ibtida malum

chalo ki aaj usi mah-jabin ki baat karen
jise wafa ka saliqa na hai wafa malum

udas udas se chehre bujhe bujhe se badan
ye kaisi basti mein main aa gaya khuda malum

kitab-e-zist mein likkha gaya hai surkhi se
gham-e-hayat hai 'sadiq' ka azm-e-na-malum
