ek umr bhaTakte rahe ghar hi nahin aaya
jo faqat shoKHi-e-tahrir bhi ho sakti hai
jab muKhaalif mera raaz-dan ho gaya
kahan se laenge aansu aza-dari ke mausam mein
jo palkon par meri Thahra hua hai
jugnu tha kahkashan tha sitara tha ya guhar
ye moajiza hamare hi tarz-e-bayan ka tha
apnon se jang hai to bhale haar jaun main
wo ek lamha jo tere wasl ka tha
abhi tahzib ka nauha na likhna
