ab ke tajdid-e-wafa ka nahin imkan jaanan
yaad kya tujh ko dilaen tera paiman jaanan

ye kaj-adai ye ghamza tera kabhi phir yar!
ki tera shahr naya aur main musafir yar!

tu aur kuchh na sahi, dost to hai aakhir yar!

aankhon ko sujhta hi nahin kuchh siwa-e-dost
kanon mein aa rahi hai barabar sada-e-dost

kaisi wafa sitam se bhi us ne uthae hath
rah rah ke yaad ab aati hai tarz-e-jafa-e-dost [...]
