sitam-shiar zamane ne hausle na diye
rah-e-siyah pe phenka magar diye na diye

bahut se waqiye aise guzar gae hain ki jo
tere jamal ki aadat ne dekhne na diye

hamare baad mazar-e-wafa ko dekho to
kahin na phul na khushbu na taqche na diye

judaiyan bhi na pindar-e-dil mita pain
ki raste to diye dil ne waste na diye

bhare jahan se chun kar mujhe muqaddar ne
jo chand log diye bhi to kaam ke na diye
