bahut zi-fahm hain duniya ko lekin kam samajhte hain!

diwangi ki rah mein gum-sum hua na tha!

chaha bahut ki ishq ki phir ibtida na ho

auron pe ittifaq se sabqat mili mujhe

dushman-e-jaan koi bana hi nahin

mahfilon mein ja ke ghabraya kiye

sada kaghaz pe koi nam kabhi likh lena!

dard-e-dil aaj bhi hai josh-e-wafa aaj bhi hai

barson paDh kar sarkash rah kar zaKHmi ho kar samjha main

ashk mere hain magar dida-e-nam hai us ka

ajib dil mein mere aaj iztirab sa hai!

charagh-e-hasrat-o-arman bujha ke baiThe hain

tabah ho ke bhi ek apni aan baqi hai

kya kya nahin kiya magar un par asar nahin

kaun bhala ye kahta hai KHud aa ke hum ko manaen aap
