lutf aaya hai jaan-fishani mein
hijr kata hai zindagani mein

sar jhukae adab se aati hai
maut mausam ki rajdhani hai

kaise khush main dikhai deta na
zikr mera bhi tha kahani mein

ek beta mila tha minnat se
mar gaya tha wahi jawani mein

rang badla hua hai aaj us ka
zahr lagta hai yar pani mein

tai karunga sabhi manazil ko
aaj rangin shab suhani mein

phans chuka hai guzishta din se 'sahar'
ek aafat-e-na-gahani mein
