Kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gayaa koii,
ki dil ko Gam kaa sazaavaar kar gayaa koii, 

dil-sitam-zadaa ko jaise kuchh huaa hii nahii.n,
Khud apane husn se yuu.N beKhabar gayaa koii, 

nigaah-e-shauq kii maharuumiyo.n se naavaaqif,
nigaah-e-shauq pe ilzaam dhar gayaa koii, 

ab unake husn me.n husn-e-nazar bhii shaamil hai,
kuchh aur merii nazar se sa.Nvar gayaa koii, 

kisii ke paa.Nv kii aahaT, ki dil kii dha.Dakan thii
hazaar baar uThaa suu-e-dar gayaa koii, 

nasiib-e-ahal-e-vafaa ye sukuun-e-dil to na thaa,
zaruur naalaa-e-dil be-asar gayaa koii
