kabhii jo mai.n ne masarrat kaa ehatamaam kiyaa
ba.De Tappak se Gam ne mujhe salaam kiyaa
hazaar tark-e-ta’alluq kaa ehatamaam kiyaa
magar jahaa.N vo mile dil ne apanaa kaam kiyaa
zamaane vaalo.n ke Dar se uThaa na haath magar
nazar se us ne basad maazarat salaam kiyaa
kabhii ha.Nse kabhii aahe.n bharii.n kabhii roye
baqadr-e-martabaa har Gam kaa ehataraam kiyaa
hamaare hisse kii may kaam aaye pyaaso.n ke
zer-e-raah-e-Khair gunaah shikast-e-jaam kiyaa
tuluu-e-mahar se bhii ghar ki tiiragii na ghaTii
ek aur shab kaTii yaa mai.n ne din tamaam kiyaa
duaa ye hai ke na huu.N gum_raah ham_safar mere
‘Khumar’ mai.n ne to apanaa safar tamaan kiyaa
