qurb nas nas mein aag bharta hai
fath kitni KHub-surat hai magar kitni garan
zamin-nazhad hain lekin zaman mein rahte hain
phuli hai shafaq go ki abhi sham nahin hai
bhulon unhen kaise kaise kaise
main baat kaun se pairaya-e-bayan mein karun
hon kyun na munkashif asrar past-o-baala ke
naKHchir hun main kashmakash-e-fikr-o-nazar ka
qaza se qarz kis mushkil se li umr-e-baqa humne
takid karo zamzama-sanjaan-e-chaman ko
