kuduraton ke darmiyan adawaton ke darmiyan
tamam dost ajnabi hain doston ke darmiyan

shuur-e-asr dhundhta raha hai mujh ko aur main
magan hun ahd-e-raftagan ki azmaton ke darmiyan

ye sochte hain kab talak zamir ko bachaenge
agar yunhi jiya kiye zaruraton ke darmiyan

abhi shikast kya ki razm-e-akhiri ek aur hai
pukarti hai zindagi hazimaton ke darmiyan

zamir-e-asr mein kabhi nawa-e-dard mein kabhi
sukhan-sara to main bhi hun sadaqaton ke darmiyan
