Tamam umr-e-rawan ka mal hairat hai

tamam umr-e-rawan ka mal hairat hai
jawab jis ka nahin wo sawal hairat hai

dukan-e-chashm yahan be-misal hairat hai
is aaine ka sarasar kamal hairat hai

ye zindagi to tere sath sath KHatm hui
jo mujh mein baqi hai wo la-zawal hairat hai

wo KHwab aise the tabir in ki thi hi nahin
ramida hijr gurezan visal hairat hai

hui tilism-zada jab ye aaine ne kaha
yahan to sare ka sara jamal hairat hai

adam wajud adam uf ye silsile kaise
main luT gai hun magar mala-mal hairat hai

ye kaenat hai hairan apne hone pe
qadam qadam pe yahan mahw-e-haal hairat hai
