pichhle baras ke sanhe bhule na hum abhi
tum samne na aao ki taza hain gham abhi

munsif hamare ahd ke allah ki panah
qatil se kah rahe hain ki hai mohtaram abhi

uthne lagin abhi se meri samt ungliyan
dahliz-e-mai-kada pe rakha hai qadam abhi

koi nahin hai mera gham-e-hijr ke siwa
kya jaane kis ki yaad mein palken hain nam abhi

kije jafaen aur ki phule phale ye fan
soz-o-gudaz tarz-e-bayan mein hai kam abhi

is ko jahan mein aur bhi hona hai paedar
urdu zaban pe dhate hi rahiye sitam abhi

dil mein khuda hai un ke kaho un se 'sarfaraaz'
jo phir rahe hain dekhte dair-o-haram abhi
