guzre hue lamhat ko ab DhunD raha hun

ye kam nahin ke wahi sham ka sitara hai

hamesha wahid-e-yakta bayan se guzra hai

shahr ko aatish-e-ranjish ke dhuan tak dekhun

gar eqtidar-e-sukun eqtidar-e-wahshat hai

jo daulat taraqqi-rasai bahut hai

jafaon ki numaish hai kisi se kuchh nahin bolen

mere wajud ka mehwar chamakta rahta hai

bas ranj ki hai dastan unwan hazaron

wafa KHulus ka singar rose karti hai

tasbih-e-qumri sarw-e-sanobar sameT lo

aazurda nigahon pe ye manzar nahin utra

KHwabon ka intiKHab badalta dikhai de

kabhi madhur kabhi miThi zaban ka shair hun

KHamosh zaban se jab taqrir nikalti hai
