na Dagmagae kabhi hum wafa ke raste mein

jab koi kali sehn-e-gulistan mein khili hai

dil par jo zaKHm hain wo dikhaen kisi ko kya

ghaalib-o-yagana se log bhi the jab tanha

tere mathe pe jab tak bal raha hai

dil ki baat labon par la kar ab tak hum dukh sahte hain

jagne walo ta-ba-sahar KHamosh raho

mir-o-ghaalib bane yagana bane

is shahr-e-KHarabi mein gham-e-ishq ke mare

ghazlen to kahi hain kuchh humne un se na kaha ahwal to kya

daraKHt sukh gae ruk gae nadi nale

kaise kahen ki yaad-e-yar raat ja chuki bahut

kaun batae kaun sujhae kaun se des sidhaar gae

phir kabhi lauT kar na aaenge

ek shaKHs ba-zamir mera yar mushafi
