**aaj unhen kuchh is tarah jii khol kar dekhaa kiye
ek hii lamhe mein jaise umr bhar dekhaa kiye
dil agar betaab hai dil kaa muqaddar hai yahii
jis qadar thii ham ko taufiiq-e-nazar dekhaa kiye
Khud_faroshaanaa adaa thii merii suurat dekhanaa
apane hii jalve ba-andaaz-e-digar dekhaa kiye
naashanaas-e-Gam faqat daad-e-hunar dete rahe
ham mataa-e-Gam ko rusvaa-e-hunar dekhaa kiye
dekhane kaa ab ye aalam hai koi ho yaa na ho
ham jidhar dekhaa kiye paharon udhar dekhaa kiye
husn ko dekhaa hai main ne husn kii Khaatir ‘Hafeez’
varnaa sab apanaa hii meaar-e-nazar dekhaa kiye**
