jo tu nahin hai to lagta hai ab ki tu kya hai

ghubar-e-tang-zehni surat-e-KHanjar nikalta hai

muddat se wo KHushbu-e-hina hi nahin aai

chashm-e-hairat ko talluq ki faza tak le gaya

de gaya likh kar wo bas itna juda hote hue

ye wo safar hai jahan KHun-baha zaruri hai

dekhiye haalat ke jogi ka kab TuTe sharap

laTkai diwar pe kis ne hatim ki taswir

kisi ke samne is tarah surKH-ru hogi

kitabon se na danish ki farawani se aaya hai

munawwar jism-o-jaan hone lage hain

uski diwar pe manqush hai wo harf-e-wafa

jaDon se sukhta tanha shajar hai

pyar jadu hai kisi dil mein utar jaega

kuchh naya karne ki KHwahish mein purane ho gae
