dur se shahr-e-fikr suhana lagta hai

lafz ka dariya utra dasht-e-maani phaila

khile hain phul ki surat tere visal ke din

bad-sohbaton ko chhoD sharifon ke sath ghum

meri aankhon se guzar kar dil o jaan mein aana

azdawaji zindagi bhi aur tijarat bhi adab bhi

band fasilen shahr ki toDen zat ki girhen kholen

lamha-e-taKHliq baKHsha usne mujhko bhik mein

na maqamat na tartib-e-zamani apni

sabaq umr ka ya zamane ka hai

ek ima ek ishaara mar raha hai

KHud ko kyun jism ka zindani karen

baja ki paband-e-kucha-e-naz hum hue the

abas hai raaz ko pane ki justuju kya hai

be-masraf be-hasil dukh
