zard mausam men bhi ik shaḳh hari rahti hai
dil ke gulshan men koi sabz pari rahti hai
tishna-lab kaun hai vo jis ke liye nahr-e-furat
meri palkon ki munDeron pe dhari rahti hai
mustaqil ḳhana-badoshi ka koi ajr nahin
paanv se lipTi mire dar-ba-dari rahti hai
ai mire dil ke makin kuchh nahin tabdil hua
tum jahan rahte the shorida-sari rahti hai
jism ke bhed to khul jaate hain dhire dhire
ruuh se ruuh ki to parda-dari rahti hai
dost ho jaata mira saara zamana ‘hashim’
mere honTon pe magar baat khari rahti hai
