tu tishnagi ki aziyyat kabhi furaat se puchh

baDe jatan se baDe soch se utara gaya

taqdir ke darbar mein alqab paDe the

lutf duniya to faqat dida-e-namnak mein hai

apne aansu hain tumhaare nahin ro sakta main

kuchh dil ka talluq to nibhao ki chala main

kisi bhi rah pe rukna na faisla kar ke

ek talwar hai talwar bhi do dhaari hai

main bhi huzur-e-yar bahut der tak raha

mere bhi kuchh gile the magar raat ho gai

jawab jis ka nahin koi wo sawal bana

be-maza thi jo bad-maza kar di

mera qarza ada kare koi

yun dil o jaan ki tauqir mein masruf tha main

ek teri yaad ke sahaare par
