yaadon ki tajsim pe mehnat hoti hai

duniya se har rishta toDa KHud se ru-gardani ki

nae zamanon ki chap to sar pe aa khaDi thi

ghubar-e-waqt ke gar aar-par dekhiyega

diya nasib mein nahin sitara baKHt mein nahin

qatra Thik hai dariya hone mein nuqsan bahut hai

hadd-e-guman se ek shaKHs dur kahin chala gaya

salgirah par kitni nek tamannaen mausul huin

ilm ka dam bharna chhoDo bhi aur amal ko bhul bhi jao

tujhse bhi kab hui tadbir meri wahshat ki
