Woh dushman-e jaan, jaan se pyara bhi kabhi tha
ab kis se kahen koi humara bhi kabhi tha.
Utra hai ragg-o-pai mein toh dil kat sa gaya hai,
ye zehar-e judaai ki gawaara bhi kabhi tha.
Har dost jahan abr-e gurezaan ki tarah hai,
ye shehar kabhi shehar humara bhi kabhi tha.
Titli ke taaqub mein koi phool sa bachcha,
aisa hi koi khwaab humara bhi kabhi tha.
Ab agle zamane ke milen log toh puchhen,
jo haal humara hai tumhara bhi kabhi tha.
Har bazm mein hum ne usey afsurda hi dekha,
kahte hain ‘faraz kabhi anjuman-aara bhi tha. !!
