wafa ne jhum ke jab tere git gae hain
qadam ufuq pe andheron ke ladkhadae hain

tere qarib pahunch kar bhi kam nahin hote
gham-e-hayat ne jo fasle badhae hain

bahut tawil sahi rah-e-justuju lekin
bahut hasin tere gesuon ke sae hain

teri nigah mudawa na ban saki jin ka
teri talash mein aise bhi zakhm khae hain

pada hai aks jo rukhsar-e-shola-e-mai ka
to aaine teri yaadon ke jagmagae hain

musafiran-e-shab-e-gham ki rah mein 'jami'
nae charagh meri fikr ne jalae hain
