suhani yaad ka dhoka na KHarch ho jae

jamal-o-KHayal-o-tazgi, sheri jamal aur shai

hain kaise kaise marahil guhar se aage bhi

dard ka kohsar khinchta hun

jaise pardes mein raaton ko watan khinchta hai

gung hain sari zaminen aasman hairat-zada

panw dekhegi na taKHir ka dukh samjhegi

andhere dur kare nur se ujale mujhe

saf auraq hain likhne ki jagah Khaali hai

KHud-satai se na hum baz ana se aae

rang ke gahre the lekin dur se achchhe lage
