shaguft-e-ab se miTTi ko aaina karte
zamin meri rahegi na aaina mera
zamin raushan rahegi aasman raushan rahega
hasil kisi se naqd-e-himayat na kar saka
ishq ki dastaras mein kuchh bhi nahin
nashat-e-fath se to daman-e-dil bhar nahin pae
kisi ko zahr dunga aur kisi ko jam dunga
kis ne di aawaz sipar ki oT mein tha
aaine mein aks khilta hai gul-e-hairat nahin
masafat-e-umr mein ziyan ka hisab hota hai justuju se
qarya-e-hairat mein dil ka mustaqar ek KHwab hai
jab koi phul musaKHKHar na ho aasani se
diye jalae gae aaine banae gae
dast-e-rahat ne kabhi ranj-e-giran-bari ne
kisi ki khoi hui yaad ke ishaare par
