sadaqaton ke payambar gae rasul gae
khudi ki hurmat-e-afzal gai usul gae

jo bul-hawas the sar-e-am dandanate rahe
jo haq-parast the sab phansiyon pe jhul gae

gila faqat hai ye zahid ki parsai se
zara sa waqt pada un ke sab usul gae

khizar se hum bhi mila kar qadam chale the magar
masafaton ki tawalat se sans phul gae

tumhaare jaane se har ek kali ka rang uda
chaman se fasl-e-bahaaran gai to phul gae

rah-e-hayat mein lakhon the ham-safar 'ejaz'
kisi ko yaad rakha aur kisi ko bhul gae
