jo pardo mein khud ko chhupae hue hain
qayaamat vahee to uthae hue hain
tiree anjuman mein jo aae hue hain
gam-e-do-jahaan ko bhulae hue hain
koee shaam ke vaqt aaega lekin
sahar se ham aankhen bichhae hue hain
jahaan bijaliyaan khud amaan dhoondatee hain
vahaan ham nasheman banae hue hain
gazal aabaroo hai to urdoo jabaan kee
tiree aabaroo ham bachae hue hain
ye ashaar yoon hee nahin dard-aageen
‘hafeez’ aap bhee chot khae hue hain
