mere kalam mein pechida istiara nahin
is ka nahin hai gham koi jaan se agar guzar gae
is ka nahin hai gham koi, jaan se agar guzar gae
umr bhar bahte hain gham ke tund-rau dhaaron ke sath
qalb ko barf-ashna na karo
aansu ko apne dida-e-tar se nikalna
is tarah paikar-e-wafa ho jaen
kya gul khilae dekhiye tapti hui hawa
utarne wali dukhon ki baraat se pahle
phir faza dhundla gai aasar hain tufan ke
mawad kar ke faraham chamakti saDkon se
hairan sara shahr tha jis ki uDan par
sar-ta-ba-qadam KHun ka jab ghaza laga hai
phul ka paigham le jae koi mali ke nam
dard ke sip mein paida hui bedari si
