hum bhi dariya hain hamein apna hunar malum hai

mohabbat adawat wafa be-ruKHi

main tamam tare uTha uTha ke gharib logon mein banT dun

hayat aaj bhi kaniz hai huzur-e-jabr mein

tum mujhe chhoD ke jaoge to mar jaunga

bichhi thin har taraf aankhen hi aankhen

har dhaDakte patthar ko log dil samajhte hain

nam pani pe likhne se kya faeda

KHuda ki uske gale mein ajib qudrat hai

shabnam ke aansu phul par ye to wahi qissa hua

kaghaz mein dab ke mar gae kiDe kitab ke

wo intizar ki chaukhaT pe so gaya hoga

tumhaare sath ye mausam farishton jaisa hai

isi liye to yahan ab bhi ajnabi hun main

dada baDe bhole the sab se yahi kahte the
