umr baqi rah-e-jaanan mein basar hone ko hai
aaj apni sakht-jaani sang-e-dar hone ko hai

aalam-e-piri mein hai dagh-e-jawani ka farogh
ye charagh-e-sham khurshid-e-sahar hone ko hai

aamad-e-piri mein ghaflat hai jawani ki wahi
nind se aankhen nahin khultin sahar hone ko hai

hum ko ruswa kar ke ruswai se bachna hai muhaal
tu bhi tashhir ai nigah-e-fitna-gar hone ko hai

dagh-e-isyan ek taraf ashk-e-nadamat ek taraf
nuh ke tufan se jang-e-sharar hone ko hai

kaun si dhun ho gai dekhen dil-e-sad-pash ko
ye shikasta saz kis naghme ka ghar hone ko hai

khalwat o kasrat mein mujh se puchhti hai bekasi
us taraf ho jaun main bhi tu jidhar hone ko hai

yusuf-e-mazmun ko lae fikr-e-kuhna ai 'munir'
ye zulekha naujawan bar-e-digar hone ko hai
