hum duniya se jab tang aaya karte hain

ye log karte hain mansub jo bayan tujhse

wo kam-suKHan na tha par baat soch kar karta

nahin uDaunga KHak roya nahin karunga

makan se hoga kabhi la-makan se hoga

mujhko kahaniyan na suna shahr ko bacha

moti nahin hun ret ka zarra to main bhi hun

maine baKHsh di teri kyun KHata tujhe ilm hai

wo jo mumkin na ho mumkin ye bana deta hai

bahaunga na main aansu na muskuraunga

mera baatin mujhe har pal nai duniya dikhata hai

utar lafzon ka ek zaKHira ghazal ko taza KHayal de de

wafa ka zikr chhiDa tha ki raat bit gai

hijr baKHsha kabhi visal diya

bahaar aane ki ummid ke KHumar mein tha
