yaadgaar-e-guzishtah jagaane chale
Khud ko phir aaj hum aazmaanay chalay

kar gayii ham ko diiwaana fan ki lagan
uqta kay dost bhii sabh puraanae chale

dard pii kar chale ham to kuu-ye-ghazal
phir se haiN/[ham] rasm-e-ulfat nibhaane chale

baaqii ummeed kii lau nahiiN bin teray
zindagi "saagar" ab kis bahaane chale
