pas-manzar mein feed hue jate hain insani kirdar

nazar ki maut ek taza alamiya

raat hai log ghar mein baiThe hain

shaeri talab apni shaeri ata uski

bura ho aaine tera main kaun hun na khul saka

jitne marka-e-dil wo lagatar gaya

sher achchhe bhi kaho sach bhi kaho kam bhi kaho

nind miTTi ki mahak sabze ki ThanDak

KHayal kya hai jo alfaz tak na pahunche saz

yaadon ke naqsh ghul gae tezab-e-waqt mein

wo to aisa bhi hai waisa bhi hai kaisa hai magar?

dost ahbab se lene na sahaare jaana

abas hai raaz ko pane ki justuju kya hai

mushabahat ke ye dhoke mumasalat ke fareb

meri rafiq-e-nafas maut teri umr daraaz
