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

kis tarah umr ko jate dekhun

tujhe hawas ho jo mujhko hadaf banane ki

achchha hua main waqt ke mehwar se kaT gaya

KHak-e-shibli se KHamir apna bhi uTTha hai faza

zindagi KHud ko na is rup mein pahchan saki

KHabar mujhko nahin main jism hun ya koi saya hun

dekhna hain khelne walon ki chabuk-dastiyan

jala hai shahr to kya kuchh na kuchh to hai mahfuz

ek din gharq na kar de tujhe ye sail-e-wajud

kahan wo log jo the har taraf se nastaliq
