zard mausam mein bhi ek shakh hari rahti hai
dil ke gulshan mein koi sabz pari rahti hai

tishna-lab kaun hai wo jis ke liye nahr-e-furaat
meri palkon ki munderon pe dhari rahti hai

mustaqil khana-badoshi ka koi ajr nahin
panw se lipti mere dar-ba-dari rahti hai

ai mere dil ke makin kuchh nahin tabdil hua
tum jahan rahte the shorida-sari rahti hai

jism ke bhed to khul jate hain dhire dhire
ruh se ruh ki to parda-dari rahti hai

dost ho jata mera sara zamana 'hashim'
mere honton pe magar baat khari rahti hai
