kya khabar thi ki tere sath ye duniya hogi
meri jaanib meri taqdir hi tanha hogi

aarzu ki ye saza hai ki zamana hai khilaf
un se milne ki khuda jaane saza kya hogi

marmarin jism ka charcha lab-o-rukhsar ki baat
meri koi to ghazal un ka sarapa hogi

ashk-e-gham pine mein taklif to hoti hai magar
sochta hun ki mohabbat teri ruswa hogi

nama-bar bhi hai taraf-dar ab un ka 'anjum'
mere haalat ki ab un ko khabar kya hogi
