wo ja chuke hain magar khalfashaar baqi hai
jo intizar tha wo intizar baqi hai

bas itni baat mere shahr-e-yar baqi hai
ki nashsha tut chuka hai khumar baqi hai

junun ki lamha shigafi se sadiyan phut padin
ab un ka ek naya ikhtisar baqi hai

ajab hain khel mohabbat ki be-niyazi ke
ki aag bujh bhi chuki hai sharar baqi hai

hum apna lamha-e-hasti abad bana lae
nae azal ka magar intizar baqi hai
