na raha gul na khar hi aakhir
ek raha husn-e-yar hi aakhir

ab jo chhute bhi hum qafas se to kya
ho chuki wan bahaar hi aakhir

aatish-e-dil pe aab le dauda
dida-e-ashk-bar hi aakhir

zid se naseh ki main ne kar dala
jeb ko tar tar hi aakhir

kyun na hun tere dar pe hona hai
ek din to ghubar hi aakhir

kaam aaya na jae sham-e-mazar
ye dil-e-dagh-dar hi aakhir

shama-ru par misal-e-parwana
ho gae hum nisar hi aakhir

wo na aaya idhar 'hasan' afsos
rah gaya intizar hi aakhir
