wo buton ne dale hain waswase ki dilon se khauf-e-khuda gaya
wo padi hain roz qayamaten ki khayal-e-roz-e-jaza gaya

jo nafas tha khar-e-gulu bana jo uthe the hath lahu hue
wo nashat-e-ah-e-sahr gai wo waqar-e-dast-e-dua gaya

na wo rang fasl-e-bahaar ka na rawish wo abr-e-bahaar ki
jis ada se yar the aashna wo mizaj-e-baad-e-saba gaya

jo talab pe ahd-e-wafa kiya to wo aabru-e-wafa gai
sar-e-am jab hue muddai to sawab-e-sidq-o-safa gaya

abhi baadban ko tah rakho abhi muztarib hai rukh-e-hawa
kisi raste mein hai muntazir wo sukun jo aa ke chala gaya
