aankh mein aansu ka aur dil mein lahu ka kal hai
musafirat ka walwala siyahaton ka mashghala
labon par tabassum to aankhon mein aansu thi dhup ek pal mein to ek pal mein barish
chhoD ke mal-o-daulat sari duniya mein apni
yahi soch kar iktifa chaar par kar gae shaiKH-ji
bure bhale mein farq hai ye jaante hain sab magar
KHud-parasti KHuda na ban jae
pahunch ke jo sar-e-manzil bichhaD gaya mujhse
dil daba jata hai kitna aaj gham ke bar se
aankhon ko dekhne ka saliqa jab aa gaya
wo pas ho ke dur hai to dur ho ke pas
har dukan apni jagah hairat-e-nazzara hai
raste hi mein ho jati hain baaten bas do-chaar
be-sal-o-sin zamanon mein phaile hue hain hum
mubham the sab nuqush naqabon ki dhund mein
