raha na jine ka dil mein jo hausla baqi
to zinda rahne mein kya rah gaya maza baqi

wo chhin le gae sari mataa-e-azm-o-amal
hamare hisse mein bas rah gai dua baqi

ye ham-safar mere kin raston pe chal nikle
rafaqaton ke nahin jin pe naqsh-e-pa baqi

hazar daman-e-dil ko chhuda raha hun magar
wahi hai aaj bhi yaadon ka silsila baqi

kuchh aisa shahr pe chhaya kuduraton ka ghubar
kahin bacha koi manzar na jaan-faza baqi

ek izhdiham hai chehron ka gird-o-pesh magar
na ham-zaban koi baqi na dilruba baqi

bahut mitae gae zulm ke nuqush magar
lahu ke dagh abhi tak hain ja-ba-ja baqi
