tujh se tuta rabt to phir aur kya rah jaega
intishaar-e-zat ka ek silsila rah jaega

qurbaten mit jaengi aur fasla rah jaega
chand yaadon ke siwa bas aur kya rah jaega

ye taghaful ek din ek saneha ban jaega
aks to kho jaega aur aaina rah jaega

waqt mein lamha sa main tahlil hota jaunga
khali aankhon se ye manzar dekhta rah jaega

ek shair ek hasin se sher ki khatir mita
waqt ki tahwil mein ye waqia rah jaega

sard-mehri ke kohar mein us ka chehra kya mile
in dhundlakon mein use tu dhundhta rah jaega

ek saya narm-o-nazuk chhod kar jo chal diya
sar pe suraj ek musafir rasta rah jaega
