rahe hai aaj kal kuchh is tarah charkh-e-kuhan bigda
mare hi aashiyan se jaise ye nazm-e-chaman bigda

kahan guzri hai sari raat kuchh hum bhi sunen aakhir
ye rukh ye chandni chhitki ye tar-e-pairahan bigda

baras kar rah gain kaliyan chaman ke farsh-e-rangin par
pakad kar shakh jab kal sham wo ghuncha-dahan bigda

teri nazron hi tak tha sab saliqa ahl-e-mahfil ka
tere uthte hi jaan-e-husn rang-e-anjuman bigda

kise aata tha jina is se pahle teri duniya mein
sanwara hai mohabbat ne mazaq-e-ruh-o-tan bigda

gila tha bewafai ka hamein par un se kya kahiye
wo kahte hain ki hai kuchh in dinon tera chalan bigda
