mausam badal sake na tere intizar ke
ab ke bhi din guzar gae yunhi bahaar ke

gham-khez-o-gham-shanas meri pur-shikoh raat
kab aaogi pahad sa ye din guzar ke

aaya huzur-e-yar se shair ko ye payam
aae sharab-o-sher ka chogha utar ke

dil mein tere utar na saki meri koi baat
likkhe hain lakh sher ghazal ke sanwar ke

ek musht-e-khak ban ke uda dil ka karwan
dasht-e-talab mein ab bhi nishan hain ghubar ke
