abhi to manzar-e-gul dawat-e-nazara tha
abhi to dida-o-dil kar-zar-e-hasti hain

rah-e-najat ka unwan banne wale the
abhi to sham ke is mauj-khez dariya mein

nawa-o-saut ka tufan uthne wala tha
nihan talatum-e-la-intiha tha sine mein

abhi se kyun mere nale labon pe sukh gae
abhi se mohr-ba-lab kyun hui nawa-e-kharosh

abhi se kyun dil-e-betab tab-e-gham laya
abhi to jaan pe bahut qarz the zamane ke
