main sawa sher ke kuchh aur samajhta hi nahin

kuchh sher-o-shaeri se nahin mujhko faeda

bas-ki hon millat-o-mazhab se jahan ke aazad

pichhe paDi hain dil ke be-tarah meri aankhen

ek nale pe hai maash apni

aaj ki shab gar rahenge mushafi bairun-e-dar

nasim muztarib-ul-haal jae the pichhe

eid tu aa ke mere ji ko jalawe afsos

jaan-bar ho kis tarah tap-e-sauda se mushafi

ustuKHwan-bandi-e-alfaz ka aalam tu dekh

awwal to thoDi thoDi chahat thi darmiyan mein

mujhse jo meri zohra milti nahin hai ab tak

ghubar-e-dil ko mein mizhgan-e-yar se jhaDa

ji jis ko chahta tha usi se mila diya

gulshan mein hawa se jo khula yar ka sina
