zara si maine tarjihat ki tartib badli thi

mere junun ko hawas mein shumar kar lega

so meri pyas ka donon taraf ilaj nahin

un sang-zanon mein koi apna bhi tha shayad

sitam to ye hai ki fauj-e-sitam mein bhi anjum

bahut sabit-qadam niklen gae waqton ki tahziben

hum aise log bahut KHush-guman hote hain

hath aaega kya sahil-e-lab se hamein anjum

ek ghazal likkhi to gham koi purana jaga

meri hawas ke muqabil ye shahr chhoTe hain

saron se taj baDe jism se abaen baDi

naKHl-e-ana mein zor-e-numu kis ghazab ka tha

allah ke ghar der hai andher nahin hai

jinko kaha na ja saka jinko suna nahin gaya

meri tamir behtar shakl mein hone ko hai anjum
