ShaKH-e-ummid Jal Gai Hogi

shaKH-e-ummid jal gai hogi

dil ki haalat sambhal gai hogi

'jaun' us aan tak ba-KHair hun main

zindagi daw chal gai hogi

ek jahannum hai mera sina bhi

aarzu kab ki gal gai hogi

sozish-e-partaw-e-nigah na puchh

mardumak to pighal gai hogi

hum ne dekhe the KHwab shoalon ke

nind aankhon mein jal gai hogi

us ne mayus kar diya hoga

phans dil se nikal gai hogi

ab to dil hi badal gaya ab to

sari duniya badal gai hogi

dil gali mein raqib dil ka julus

wan to talwar chal gai hogi

ghar se jis rose main chala hunga

dil ki dilli machal gai hogi

dhup yani ki zard zard ek dhup

lal qile se Dhal gai hogi

hijr-e-hiddat mein yaad ki KHushbu

ek pankha sa jhal gai hogi

aai thi mauj-e-sabz-e-baad-e-shimal

yaad ki shaKH phal gai hogi

wo dam-e-subh ghusl-KHane mein

mere pahlu se shal gai hogi

sham-e-subh-e-firaq daim hai

ab tabiat bahal gai hogi
