ab shahr mein kahan rahe wo ba-waqar log

achchha hua main waqt ke mehwar se kaT gaya

sulagna andar andar misra-e-tar sochte rahna

khula na mujhse tabiat ka tha bahut gahra

ghazal ke parde mein be-parda KHwahishen likhna

shaKHsiyat ka ye tawazun tera hissa hai faza

talash-e-mani-e-maqsud itni sahl na thi

mujhe tarash ke rakh lo ki aane wala waqt

ai faza itni kushada kab thi mani ki jihat

nutq se lab tak hai sadiyon ka safar
