yun to is jalwa-gah-e-husn mein kya kya dekha

meri mahdud basarat ka natija nikla

kaun kahta hai ki maut aai to mar jaunga

ji chahta hai falak pe jaun

teri mahfil bhi mudawa nahin tanhai ka

ek nazm

larazte sae

yar log

izhaar

biswin sadi ka insan

ajab tazad mein kaTa hai zindagi ka safar

log kahte hain ki saya tere paikar ka nahin

kaun kahta hai ki maut aai to mar jaunga

fareb khane ko pesha bana liya humne

us waqt ka hisab kya dun

rang-e-harf-e-sada ki duniya mein

aaj panghaT pe ye gata hua kaun aa nikla

aansuon mein bhigo ke aankhon ko

meri shikast pe ek partaw-e-jamal to hai

ruKHsar hain ya aks hai barg-e-gul-e-tar ka
