wo taza-dam hain nae shoabde dikhate hue

jawan ho gai ek nasl sunte sunte ghazal

aaj shahron mein hain jitne KHatre

is kar-e-agahi ko junun kah rahe hain log

ghar se kis tarah main niklun ki ye maddham sa charagh

kya rah gaya hai shahr mein khanDaraat ke siwa

tamam shahr se bad-zan kara diya shah ko

sambhal ke chalne ka sara ghurur TuT gaya

log yun kahte hain apne qisse

kabhi qarib kabhi dur ho ke rote hain

jahan ziden kiya karta tha bachpana mera

tamam-shahr mein kis tarah chandni phaili

jawanon mein tasadum kaise rukta

purane ahd mein bhi dushmani thi

ye bhi raha hai kucha-e-jaanan mein apna rang
