ye suKHan jo meri zaban pe hai ye suKHan hai us ka kaha hua

is taraf se us taraf tak KHushk o tar pani mein hai

kya dekhte ho rah mein ruk kar yahan wahan

ek aas to hai koi sahaara nahin to kya

KHwahish-e-taKHt-o-taj aur hai kuchh

koi diwar na dar jaante hain

ye jaur ahl-e-aza par mazid karte rahe

jaana hai usi samt ki chaara nahin koi

naqsh pani pe banaya kyun tha

gila nahin ki muKhaalif mera zamana hua

dikha rahi hai jahan dhup ab asar apna

kisi ke dosh na markab se istifada kiya

raste mein koi aa ke inan-gir ho na jae

agar chaman ka koi dar khula bhi mere liye

har roz naya hashr sar-e-rahguzar tha
