Kirdar Hi Se Zinat-e-aflak Ho Gae

kirdar hi se zinat-e-aflak ho gae

kirdar gir gaya KHas-o-KHashak ho gae

hum jaise sada-lauh ko duniya ke hath se

aisi saza mili hai ki chaalak ho gae

shayad bahaar aa gai mauj-e-junun liye

daman jo sil gae the wo phir chaak ho gae

kal tak dawa-e-dard the kuchh log shahr mein

aaj eqtidar kya mila zahhak ho gae

qismat ka tha mazaq ki ek husn-e-ittifaq

aai hamari yaad jab hum KHak ho gae

un ki nazar ne 'tahira' aisa asar kiya

jo darmiyan hisab the sab pak ho gae
