KHushk aankhon mein kuchh nami ke liye

buzdil ya mazlum jahan mein kahlane se kya hoga

gham na do itna ki meri jaan nikal jae kahin

shaiba hijrat ka ab mere irade mein nahin

dastaras mein kahkashan jugnu diya kuchh bhi nahin

ishq mehnat ka sila had se siwa mangta hai

haya ki ek hasin chadar agar tani nahin hoti

aae hain dene tasalli wo sambhal jaane ke baad

rishton mein bhi aai siyasat kaisi be-imani hai

kabhi ojhal kabhi pesh-e-nazar hai

hans raha hoga shikari jal phailate hue

gulon ki samt bhanwaron se ziyaada kaun dekhega

ajib log hain kya shai kahan se mangte hain

makr-o-ayyari ka daman chhoD de

wo qad-awar meri unchai se baDh kar na hua
