kaise amir kis ke gada tajdar kya

ek be-rang se ghubar mein hun

na phul hun na sitara hun aur na shoala hun

hangame se wahshat hoti hai tanhai mein ji ghabrae hai

phir fikr-e-suKHan main kar raha hun

dibacha-e-kitab-e-wafa hai tamam umr

shahr-e-shor-o-shar tanha ghar ke baam-o-dar tanha

na koi dost na dushman ajib duniya hai

ghar ko ab dasht-e-karbala likkhun

chand viran hai sadiyon se mere dil ki tarah

bujha bujha ke jalata hai dil ka shoala kaun

daulat-e-harf-o-bayan sath liye phirte hain

gali gali meri wahshat liye phire hai mujhe

achchha ye karam hum pe to sayyaad kare hai

zindagi tujhse bichhaD kar main jiya ek baras
