KHirad ki rah mein har moD par dhoke nikal aae

amir-e-shahr ke aangan mein jab ujale hue

faza-e-zehn ki jalti hawa badalne tak

mazhab ki kitabon mein bhi irshad hua main

chehre pe mere ab wo raunat nahin rahi

dard-e-dil jaan ka aazar hai main jaanta hun

barish-e-sang se gul chaak hua chahte hain

gai nahin tere zulm-o-sitam ki KHu ab tak

dho ke ashkon se kai bar ujali hui hai

phir se badle yahan tahzib ne tewar apne

shabih-e-ruh kuchh aise nikhaar di gai hai

jis ne mere sar par tohmat rakkhi hai

kuchh bhi samajh na paoge mere bayan se

TuTte hi dam diyon ka ek dhuan paida hua

kasa-e-fikr mein rakhta hun main daulat apni
