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