zindagi se thak ke us kuche mein hun baiTha hua
sanware hai gesu to dekha kare hai
dil tak laraz uTha hai tere iltifat par
tere suluk-e-taghaful se ho ke saudai
fikr-e-tajdid-e-riwayat-e-kuhan aaj bhi hai
humse gumrah zamane ne kahan dekhe hain
na ghair hi mujhe samjho na dost hi samjho
lab pe ek nam hamesha ki tarah
be-rang the aarzu ke KHake
ghuncha-e-dil ki bikharta bhi dikhai na diya
nind ki aankh-micholi se maza lete hain
mughanniyon ko bulao ki nind aa jae
KHush hain bahut mizaj-e-zamana badal ke hum
farebon se na bahlega dil-e-ashufta-kaam apna
aaj tak daman na bhiga tha bhigona paD gaya
