main hujum-e-gham se ghabraya nahin
koi lamha garche ras aaya nahin

waqt ki badli hui qadron ke sath
zindagi mein inqalab aaya nahin

jin ki zulfon ka raha hun main asir
un ki yaadon ne bhi tadpaya nahin

chamka hai har lamha ummidon ka chand
waqt ki gardish ne gahnaya nahin

bad-nasibi dera dale hi rahi
phir bhi kuchh logon ne thukraya nahin

jis ke dar par muddaton sajda kiya
us ne bhi kuchh faiz pahunchaya nahin
