waqt se kahiyo zara kam kam chale
kaun yaad aaya hai aansu tham chale

dam-ba-khud kyun hai khizan ki saltanat
koi jhonka koi mauj-e-gham chale

chaar su bajen palon ki paelen
is tarah raqqasa-e-alam chale

der kya hai aane wale mausamo
din guzarte ja rahe hain hum chale

kis ko fikr-e-gumbad-e-qasr-e-habab
aabju paiham chale paiham chale
