waqt ki zanjir to kat nahin sakti magar
khol ghadi do ghadi

qufl dar-e-zat ka
aaina-e-zabt ko sang-e-tamanna se tod

aur khushi se baha dil mein ruka sail-e-dard
soch zara der ko

gosht ke malbus mein pinjra hain ye pisliyan
jis ke ajab sehr mein

qaid teri ruh ka taer-e-khush-rang hai
aankh utha kar to dekh

bazu kushada kiye wo shajar-e-shash-jihat
kitne zamanon se hai sirf tera muntazir

taer-e-khush-rang ki hamrahi-e-shauq mein
pinjre samet ud zara

hairat o imkan ki wadi-e-na-mukhtatim
lamha-e-la ki taraf
