meri gali mein ye aahaT thi kis ke qadmon ki

na tere dard ke tare hi ab sulagte hain

saKHt-jaan bhi hain aur nazuk bhi

zindagi ki hasin shahzadi

meri jawani bahaaron mein bhi udas rahi

baDi shafiq, baDi gham-shanas lagti hain

aarzu ke diye jalane se

tu mere sath ab nahin hai dost

tum gunahon se Dar ke jite ho

aasman ki bulandiyon se nadim

dard ka jam le ke jite hain

kawish-e-subh-o-sham baqi hai

dil-jalon ko satane aae hain

tum ghaTaon ka ehtimam karo

hum faqiron ki baat kyun puchho
