sar uthae hue zindan se guzar jate hain
sar-phire log bayaban se guzar jate hain

jaanne ke liye chadhte hue dariya ka mizaj
hum to bahte hue tufan se guzar jate hain

yaad aa jata hai hum ko gham-e-dauran ka suluk
log jab bhi gham-e-jaanan se guzar jate hain

hum ne dekha hai masiha ko bhi paband-e-junun
ahl-e-dil jab kabhi darman se guzar jate hain

wo to aansu the jo aankhon hi mein mahfuz rahe
ye hain kuchh phul jo mizhgan se guzar jate hain

fasl-e-gul lai hai daman mein chhupa kar kante
is liye phul gulistan se guzar jate hain

ek fasana hai adhura sa nae daur ke log
raushni le ke shabistan se guzar jate hain

sar uthae hue phirte the yahan kal jo 'munir'
aaj wo gardish-e-dauran se guzar jate hain
