ghuncha-e-wasl sar-e-sham khila de aa kar

mahak raha hai tasawwur mein KHwab ki surat

kisi talab mein hua main na dar-ba-dar ab ke

nae hain wasl ke mausam mohabbaten bhi nai

nai ghazal ka nai fikr-o-agagi ka waraq

lab-e-KHamosh se usne KHush-amdid kaha

azmat-e-shahar-e-ana shan-e-bashar ki surat

wo pahle fikr ko harf-e-kamal deta hai

wo ba-rang-e-etibar aankhon mein hai

ai meri aankho ye be-sud justuju kaisi

ye saneha bhi ajab ho gaya hai raste mein

na dushmanon se watan mein raha kabhi mahfuz

na KHud-sari mein hasin roz-o-shab guzara kar

nae uslub mein zinda hue hain

dam sau rakhte hain lafzon mein suKHnawar mujhse
