hum hasin ghazlon se peT bhar nahin sakte

palkon par apni kaun mujhe ab sajaega

har ek qayas haqiqat se dur-tar nikla

jala hai shahr to kya kuchh na kuchh to hai mahfuz

wo mel-jol husn o basirat mein ab kahan

aankhon ke KHwab dil ki jawani bhi le gaya

ab munasib nahin ham-asr ghazal ko yaro

zindagi KHud ko na is rup mein pahchan saki

achchha hua main waqt ke mehwar se kaT gaya

tujhe hawas ho jo mujhko hadaf banane ki

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

kis tarah umr ko jate dekhun

ai faza itni kushada kab thi mani ki jihat

mujhe tarash ke rakh lo ki aane wala waqt
