har ghaDi chalti hai talwar tere kuche mein
roz mar rahte hain do-chaar tere kuche mein
shakl ko kyunki na har dafa badal kar aaun
hain meri tak mein aghyar tere kuche mein
gham se badli hai meri shakl to be-KHauf-o-KHatar
din ko bhi aate hain sau bar tere kuche mein
na kare su-e-chaman bhul ke bhi ruKH hargiz
aan kar bulbul-e-gulzar tere kuche mein
nargisistan na samajh kholi hui aankhon ko
hain tere talib-e-didar tere kuche mein
lae jab ghar se to behosh paDa tha ‘arif’
ho gaya aan ke hushiyar tere kuche mein
