zamana uf ye kaisa ho raha hai

zindagi apni KHwab jaisi hai

chaDhte tufan ko sahil se guzarna tha miyan

be-ghar tha phir chhoD gaya ghar jaane kyun

raat ka kya zikr hai sham-o-sahar aaya nahin

rose uTh jati hai ghar mein koi diwar nai

kaisa maqam aaya mohabbat ki rah mein

hum fitratan insan hain farishte to nahin hain

shahr ki galiyon aur saDkon par phirte hain mayusi mein

husn aisa ki zamane mein nahin jis ki misal
