qarz ki mohlat guzar gai hai
bhai muddat guzar gai hai

wasl ke dawedar kaho kya
hijr ki iddat guzar gai hai

hum to aise rone lage hain
jaise mohabbat guzar gai hai

dasht-e-junun! majnun ke gham mein
kya be-wahshat guzar gai hai

ishq se be-parwa logon ki
umr salamat guzar gai hai

ai kuffar-e-tishna-badnan
shab-e-jahaalat guzar gai hai

ghur andhere mein parchhain
kar ke harakat guzar gai hai

dil se hasrat ka jaana tha
aankh se hairat guzar gai hai

'shafaq'! mahurat ke chakkar mein
saat-e-hijrat guzar gai hai
