zaban-bandi ke mausam mein gali-kuchon ki mat puchho

ye kaun hai ki jis ko ubhaare hue hai mauj

zamin ki god mein itna sukun tha anjum

KHud ko aziyyaten na de mujhko aziyyaten na de

agar aata hun sahil par to aandhi gher leti hai

kaho kya baat karti hai kabhi sahra ki KHamoshi

wahshat-e-hijr bhi tanhai bhi main bhi anjum

KHatir se jo karna paDi kaj-fahm ki taid

aziyyaton ki bhi apni hi ek lazzat hai

insan ki niyyat ka bharosa nahin koi

allah ke ghar der hai andher nahin hai

hath aaega kya sahil-e-lab se hamein anjum

usi sharar ko jo ek ahd-e-yas ne baKHsha

hum aise log bahut KHush-guman hote hain

kya jaanen safar KHair se guzre ki na guzre
