han KHud-azar hain danista saza chahte hain
husn kya jis ko kisi husn se KHatra na hua
rok de usko bhala kis ki majal aata hai
kitne dardon mein dawaon ki si tasir bhi hai
ye kis ko jag jag ke taron ki chhanw mein
qaid mein rakkha gaya qatra to ghaltan ho gaya
hiras hai ye azal ka ki zindagi kya hai
aansu ki tarah ponchh ke phenka gaya hun main
tarh-e-kashan jise hijran-e-yar kahte hain
kya shoKH-o-shang shai nigah-e-sharmgin bhi hai
himmat-e-ali ka itna to ziyan hona hi tha
ajab faqir ho taj-e-jahaniyan tum ho
aise mantar bhi ho gae ijad
gham-e-paiham ki zindagi bhi mili
zinda hon is jahan mein aaKHir koi jawaz
