zindagi ek sawal hai jis ka jawab maut hai

kahani apni apni ahl-e-mahfil jab sunate hain

zaban o dahan se jo khulte nahin hain

zamane ki kashakash ka diya paiham pata mujhko

zamin par hain wo kuchh miTTi ke putle

mukammal dastan ka iKHtisar itna hi kafi hai

tumhaari bazm bhi kya bazm hai aadab hain kaise
