main kaise jiyun gar ye duniya har aan nai taswir na ho

jo usne kiya use sila de

ajib thi wo ajab tarah chahta tha main

bahar ka dhan aata jata asal KHazana ghar mein hai

main ye kis ke nam likkhun jo alam guzar rahe hain

azab aae the aise ki phir na ghar se gae

humne khulne na diya be-sar-o-samani ko

KHayal-o-KHwab hui hain mohabbaten kaisi

kuchh to batao shair-e-bedar kya hua

wo raat be-panah thi aur main gharib tha

har aawaz zamistani hai har jazba zindani hai

wahshat usi se phir bhi wahi yar dekhna

shikasta-haal sa be-asra sa lagta hai

miTTi tha main KHamir tere naz se uTha

kuchh ishq tha kuchh majburi thi so maine jiwan war diya
