baDe logon se milne mein hamesha fasla rakhna

kabhi yun bhi aa meri aankh mein ki meri nazar ko KHabar na ho

haqiqaton mein zamana bahut guzar chuke

be-waqt agar jaunga sab chaunk paDenge

loban mein chingari jaise koi rakh jae

main chahta hun ki tum hi mujhe ijazat do

hazaron sher mere so gae kaghaz ki qabron mein

KHuda ki itni baDi kaenat mein maine

koi hath bhi na milaega jo gale miloge tapak se

wo matha ka matla ho ki honThon ke do misre

kisi ne chum ke aankhon ko ye dua di thi

jis ko dekho mere mathe ki taraf dekhta hai

phulon mein ghazal rakhna ye raat ki rani hai

dil ujDi hui ek sarae ki tarah hai

achchha tumhaare shahar ka dastur ho gaya
