un ko sajda kar liya mahbub ki taswir jaan

KHadim-e-urdu-zaban hun shaeri maktab mera

naqsh tikhe banki chitwan dant moti ki qatar

gham ki tarik fazaon se nikalne na diya

aasra jab bhi koi TuTe hai

lamha lamha maut ko bhi zindagi samjha hun main

mai-kashi ka shabab baqi hai

sameT lo zara aanchal ki raushni phaile

jism-e-shaffaf mein shoala sa rawan ho jaise

puchha kaise? to hans ke farmaya

ajnabi ban ke hansa karti hai

ab kya bataen kya tha saman pairahan ke bich

kho ke KHud un ko pa ke pita hun

kis liye ab hayat baqi hai

talKHiyon mein sama ke pita hun
