zindagi uljhi hai bikhre hue gesu ki tarah

aag jo dil mein lagi hai wo bujha di jae

adawaton ka ye usko sila diya humne

main tere shahr mein phirti rahi mari mari

dard ki jot mere dil mein jagane wale

raat phir KHwab mein aane ka irada kar ke

baalidagi-e-zarf pe dikhlae gae log

phir koi taza-sitam wo sitam-ijad kare

udas aankhen ghazal aankhen

wo shaKHs phir kahani ka unwan ban gaya

kargas ko surKHab banana chahoge

be-sabab KHauf se dil mera larazta kyun hai

aisa ye dard hai ki bhulaya na jaega

ye aag mohabbat ki bujhae na bujhe hai

main sach to kah dun par usko kahin bura na lage
