un ke husn-o-jamal ki surat
jaise dilkash khayal ki surat

zindagi yun bhi ek muamma hai
zulf-e-ambar ke jal ki surat

ek main hun aur ek jaan meri
baqi sab kuchh wabaal ki surat

jo bhi dushman hain pal rakkhe hain
sabhi ahl-o-ayal ki surat

ek kahani thi jo ki khatm hui
wahshat-e-mah-o-sal ki surat

shahr-e-khana-kharab mein 'barham'
ji rahe hain kamal ki surat
