na koi un ke siva aur jan-e-jan dekha
vahi vahi nazar aaega jahan jahan dekha
bahisht men bhi usi huur ko ravan dekha
yahan jo dekh chuke the vahi vahan dekha
khizan-e-umr kuja o kuja bahar-e-shabab
falak ko rashk hua koi jab javan dekha
gae jahan se jo log do jahan se gae
kisi ne phir na kabhi apna karvan dekha
jalaya bazm men har roz shama ke manind
hazaron baten sunain jo be-zaban dekha
qayamat aai ye tadpa firaq men ai ‘barq’
na phir zamin ko paaya na asman dekha
