sun ke bhi meri sada kya karta
wo to patthar hai wafa kya karta

waqt ki chikh pe aankhen na khulin
sard ehsas bhala kya karta

har qadam par thi hawa ki yurish
ek tanha sa diya kya karta

mujh se qurbat hi nahin thi us ko
puchh kar haal mera kya karta

jis ko jine ki tamanna hi na thi
zindagi le ke bata kya karta

naw sahil hi pe dubi hai 'alim'
tha muqaddar mein likha kya karta
