mera zad-e-qayamat kuchh nahin hai
ba-juz ashk-e-nadamat kuchh nahin hai

koi to phul phenke meri jaanib
ki ye sang-e-malamat kuchh nahin hai

zamana aa gaya hai kuchh naya sa
buzurgi aur qadamat kuchh nahin hai

bahut honge abhi aasar zahir
maraz ki ek alamat kuchh nahin hai

muqabil 'aftab-ahmad' bahut hain
tera to qadd-o-qamat kuchh nahin hai
