aise to koi tark sukunat nahin karta
sher likhne ka faeda kya hai
ye kis ke KHauf ka galiyon mein zahr phail gaya
naqsh sare KHak ke hain sab hunar miTTi ka hai
sada-e-zat ke unche hisar mein gum hai
mah-ruKH jo gharon se kabhi bahar nikal aae
makan-bhar hum ko virani bahut hai
chand ka patthar bandh ke tan se utri manzar-e-KHwab mein chup
ye hum jo hijr mein us ka KHayal bandhte hain
nigah-e-awwalin ka hai taqaza dekhte rahna
wo aane wala nahin phir bhi aana chahta hai
wo chand ho ki chand sa chehra koi to ho
kunj-e-ghazal na qais ka virana chahiye
tilism-e-KHwab se mera badan patthar nahin hota
na tujhse hai na gila aasman se hoga
