tham gai waqt ki raftar tere kuche mein
aise sabit hua sayyar tere kuche mein

manzar-e-baam sar-e-did nahin khulta hai
kuchh hai na-dida ka asrar tere kuche mein

har talabgar ko hai hasil-e-guftar-e-sukut
na hai inkar na iqrar tere kuche mein

aaina sham ka raushan rukh-e-mahtab se kar
aks chamke to ho didar tere kuche mein

waslat-e-kar baham ho ki hain jama din raat
pesha-e-hijr ke be car tere kuche mein

nafa ke khel mein samjha gaya tha taq jise
wo khasare mein hai hoshyar tere kuche mein

aakhir-e-umr ne ki raunaq-e-bazar tamam
na dukan hai na kharidar tere kuche mein

ek muddat se hai tartib mein be-tartibi
na durusti ke hain aasar tere kuche mein
