ghabra na sitam se na karam se na ada se

KHizan kabhi to kaho ek is tarah ki ghazal

tumhein KHayal nahin kis tarah bataen tumhein

dekhte hain be-niyazana guzar sakte nahin

ye kya kahun ki mujhko kuchh gunah bhi aziz hain

meri nigah mein kuchh aur DhunDne wale

ye sard-mehr ujala ye jiti-jagti raat

ye dil-nawaz udasi bhari bhari palken

ulajhte rahne mein kuchh bhi nahin thakan ke siwa

dekho duniya hai dil hai

tumhaare waste sab kuchh hai mere banda-nawaz

ye log sans bhi lete hain zinda bhi hain magar

koi rasta kahin jae to jaanen

ab yaad kabhi aae to aaine se puchho

katraate hain bal khate hain ghabraate hain kyun log
