kuchh ishaare wo sar-e-bazm jo kar jate hain
nawak-e-naz kaleje mein utar jate hain

ahl-e-dil rah-e-adam se bhi guzar jate hain
nam-lewa tere be-khauf-o-khatar jate hain

safar-e-zist hua khatm na socha lekin
hum ko jaana hai kahan aur kidhar jate hain

nigah-e-lutf mein hai uqda-kushai muzmar
kaam bigde hue bandon ke sanwar jate hain

qabil-e-did hai mahshar mein khajalat un ki
do qadam chalte hain rukte hain thahar jate hain

khub badnam kiya apni siyahkari ne
ungliyan uthti hain mahshar mein jidhar jate hain

aankh khul jati hai chaunk uthte hain sone wale
wo dabe panw jo turbat se guzar jate hain

chaaragar hajat-e-marham nahin un ko aslan
zakhm-e-dil lazzat-e-isar se bhar jate hain

aah-e-sozan se jo nikle the sitare shab-e-gham
ban ke tare wahi gardun pe bikhar jate hain

aaj tak laut ke aaya na jahan se koi
ham-safiran-e-jahan hum bhi udhar jate hain

bahr-e-gham mein wahi phanste hain jo hote hain giran
jo subuk hote hain wo par utar jate hain

kushta-e-naz tera kyun na zamin par lote
dagh-e-dil jitne hain is tarah wo bhar jate hain
