yaad mujh ko karne wale mere pyare mar gae
jin ko mujh se thi mohabbat log sare mar gae

dukh mujhe is baat ka hai main akela rah gaya
meri basti ke makin sab us kinare mar gae

wo juda ho kar dobara mil sakega ya nahin
karte karte umr bhar hum istikhare mar gae

gaiki mein jitne sur the kha gai shoridgi
shairi mein jitne bhi the istiare mar gae

chand ne pahni qaba-e-abd aadhi raat ko
meri aankhon mein kai raushan sitare mar gae

khamushi ke sab kinae zud goi le udi
rah gae alfaz baqi aur ishaare mar gae

waqt karta hai hamesha aur hi kuchh faisle
jo the lashkar mein bahadur dar ke mare mar gae
