shamim-e-zulf-e-yar aae na aae
mere dil ko qarar aae na aae

abhi aaya hai hosh ai yaad-e-jaanan
na tadpa bar bar aae na aae

charagh-e-zindagani bujh raha hai
wo jaan-e-intizar aae na aae

kiya jo tum ne apne dil se puchho
hamara e'tibar aae na aae

nigah-e-ahl-e-gulshan kah rahi hai
khizan jae bahaar aae na aae

badhega karwan manzil-ba-manzil
ghubar-e-rah-guzar aae na aae
