talluqat ka afsun kuduraton ka ghubar
dilon ka bughz, mohabbat ke daeron ka hisar
masarraton ka har ek rang, gham ka har lamha
guzarti mauj ke manind ubhar ke dub gaya
khulus o mahr o adawat ki sari zanjiren
palak jhapakne ki mohlat mein jal ke rakh huin
na katne wale kathin din khayal o khwab hue
na aane wale jo din the wo aa ke bit gae
gham-e-firaq shab-e-intizar subh-e-visal
bas ek gard-e-zamana muhit hai sab par
ye subh-e-nau hai ki sham-e-hayat ki manzil
ye ikhtitam-e-safar hai ki ibtida-e-safar
