aa gai sar par qaza lo saara saman rah gaya
ai falak kya kya hamare dil men arman rah gaya
baghban hai chaar din ki bagh-e-alam men bahar
phuul sab murjha gae khali bayaban rah gaya
itna ehsan aur kar lillah ai dast-e-junun
baaqi gardan men faqat tar-e-gareban rah gaya
yaad aai jab tumhare ruup raushan ki chamak
main sarasar surat-e-aina hairan rah gaya
le chale do phuul bhi is bagh-e-alam se na ham
vaqt-e-rahlat haif hai khali hi daman rah gaya
mar gae ham par na aae tum khabar ko ai sanam
hausla ab dil ka dil hi men miri jaan rah gaya
na-tavani ne dikhaya zor apna ai ‘rasa’
surat-e-naqsh-e-qadam main bas numayan rah gaya
