wo kam-suKHan na tha par baat soch kar karta

hum duniya se jab tang aaya karte hain

tum koi is se tawaqqo na lagana mare dost

bahaar aane ki ummid ke KHumar mein tha

makan se hoga kabhi la-makan se hoga

wafa ka zikr chhiDa tha ki raat bit gai

ek manzil hai ek jada hai

ye log karte hain mansub jo bayan tujhse

bahaunga na main aansu na muskuraunga

hijr baKHsha kabhi visal diya

maine baKHsh di teri kyun KHata tujhe ilm hai

mera baatin mujhe har pal nai duniya dikhata hai

wo jo mumkin na ho mumkin ye bana deta hai

nahin uDaunga KHak roya nahin karunga

utar lafzon ka ek zaKHira ghazal ko taza KHayal de de
