Bas ik jhijhak hai yahii haal-e-dil sunaane me.n 
ki tera zikr bhii aayegaa is fasaane me.n. 

baras paRii thii jo rukh se naqaab uthaane me.n 
wo chaaNdnii hai abhii tak mere ghareeb-khaane me.n. 

isii me.n ishq kii qismat badal bhii saktii thii 
jo waqt beet gayaa mujh ko aazmaane me.n. 

ye keh ke toot paRaa shaakh-e-gul se aakhirii phool 
ab aur der hai kitnii bahaar aane me.n.
