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

salgirah par kitni nek tamannaen mausul huin

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

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

tujhse bhi kab hui tadbir meri wahshat ki
