dasht ki KHak bhi chhani hai

tu bhi naraaz bahut hai mujhse

tanha hota hun to mar jata hun main

lafz ki qaid-o-rihai ka hunar

bala ka habs tha par nind TuTti hi na thi

ye sada kash usi ne di ho

irada to nahin hai KHud-kushi ka

jise dekho ghazal pahne hue hai

mujhko aksar udas karti hai

rafta rafta qubul honge use

main to kisi julus mein gaya nahin

zindagi ki hansi uDati hui

faqat zanjir badli ja rahi thi

ghar mein wahi pili tanhai rahti hai

use chhua hi nahin jo meri kitab mein tha
