shahr ko choT pe rakhti hai gajar mein koi chiz

ghane arman gaDhi aarzu karne se milta hai

ek pareshani alag thi aur pashemani alag

pahaDon ko bichha dete kahin khai nahin milti

tanha kar ke mujhko salib-e-sawal pe chhoD diya

mehwar pe bhi gardish meri mehwar se alag ho

lab-e-mantiq rahe koi na chashm-e-lan-tarani ho

lahron mein bhanwar niklenge mehwar na milega

sitam-zarifi ki surat nikal hi aati hai

mila kisi se na achchha laga suKHan is bar

KHamosh bhi rah jae aur izhaar bhi kar de

awwal wahi sairab tha sani bhi wahi tha

wahi be-libas kyariyan kahin bel buTon ke bal nahin
