Is hadse pe aankh se aa'nsoo nikal gaye
Kitne haseen log mashino'n me'n dhal gaye

Duniya use sunegi to bus muskurayegi
Jugnu pakarh raha thaa mere hath jal gaye

Mausam ke intazar me'n kuchh log hai'n kharhe
Kuchh log manzilo'n se aage nikal gaye

Ham ko bhi apne khu'n se nahana thaa sham tak
Suraj ke saath ham bhi safar par nikal gaye

Ek shakh-e-gul jhuki thee hamare bahut qareeb
Ham larh kharha gaye they magar phir sambhal gaye

Kaghaz ke chand  tukrho'n ki umeed me'n "Hafeez"
Le kar kaha'n kaha'n na ham apni ghazal gaye
