thodi si waza odh li aur waza-dar ho gae
ashab-e-izz-o-jah mein hum bhi shumar ho gae

hum bhi chattan the magar zarb-e-shadid waqt se
har lamha tutte rahe aakhir ghubar ho gae

tarkash mein jis ke tir the na hath mein kaman thi
shumi-e-bakht dekhte us ka shikar ho gae

mandi mein le to aae ho lekin wo bik na paenge
mausam-e ki mar se jo phul daghdar ho gae

sharm-o-haya adab ke jo the kuchh libas-e-fakhira
ghar mein rakhe rakhe hi wo tar tar ho gae

sab ke huquq kuchh na kuchh hain qarz meri zat par
kaise chukaunga wahan itne udhaar ho gae
