tha magar itna ziyaada to junun-KHez na tha

faqat qayam ka matlab guzar-basar koi hai

is qadar ghaur se dekha hai sarapa us ka

pul-e-siraat na tha dasht-e-nainawa bhi na tha

KHuda hua na koi aur hi gawah hua

taDap bhi hai meri aur bais-e-sukun bhi hai

radd-o-kad ke bhi baad rah jae

badan ko wajd tere be-hisab-o-had aae

jo sans sans sahi us saza ka nam na lo

nigah ki shoala-fazai ko kam hai did uski

ek roz ye sar-rishta-e-idrak jala dun

banhon mein yar ho, koi fursat ki sham ho

KHair ki nazr ki hai ya shar ki

dil ko tumhaare ranj ki parwa bahut rahi

ye kaj-adai ye ghamza tera kabhi phir yar!
