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
ye moajiza hamare hi tarz-e-bayan ka tha
jugnu tha kahkashan tha sitara tha ya guhar
apnon se jang hai to bhale haar jaun main
wo ek lamha jo tere wasl ka tha
abhi tahzib ka nauha na likhna
