taq par juzdan mein lipTi duaen rah gain

ghair ho koi to us se khul ke baaten kijiye

kaTi hai umr kisi aabdoz kashti mein

diwar o dar jhulaste rahe tez dhup mein

tera hai kaam kaman mein use lagane tak

uske chehre ki chamak ke samne sada laga

ji mein Thani hai ki jina hai bahar-haal mujhe

main shisha kyun na bana aadmi hua kyunkar

koi baadal mere tapte jism par barsa nahin

fasl-e-gul mein bhi dikhata hai KHizan-dida-daraKHt

na jaane kab wo palaT aaen dar khula rakhna

hazar talKH hon yaaden magar wo jab bhi mile

na ho ki qurb hi phir marg-e-rabt ban jae

KHud ko hujum-e-dahr mein khona paDa mujhe

jis ghaDi aaya palaT kar ek mera bichhDa hua
