na KHanjar uThega na talwar in se

naw kaghaz ki tan-e-KHaki-e-insan samjho

dariya-e-sharab usne bahaya hai hamesha

chalti to hai par shoKHi-e-raftar kahan hai

teri tarif ho ai sahib-e-ausaf kya mumkin

pura karenge holi mein kya wada-e-visal

phir na baqi rahe ghubar kabhi

log kahte hain ki fann-e-shairi manhus hai

ek baat par qarar unhen raat-bhar nahin

hain din ke paband na duniya ke muqayyad

ho gae ram jo tum ghair se a jaan-e-jahan
