ghairon ko kya paDi hai ki ruswa karen mujhe

shaKH se TuT ke patte ne ye dil mein socha

hawa ke apne ilaqe hawas ke apne maqam

bahut se logon ko main bhi ghalat samajhta hun

bichhaD ke tujhse kisi dusre pe marna hai

aate hain barg-o-bar daraKHton ke jism par

mohabbaten bhi usi aadmi ka hissa thin

purane ghar ki shikasta chhaton se ukta kar

meri ruswai ke asbab hain mere andar

leta nahin kisi ka pas-e-marg koi nam

ganw ki aankh se basti ki nazar se dekha

jab talak aazad the har ek masafat thi wabaal

jise na meri udasi ka kuchh KHayal aaya

mere badan pe zamanon ki zang hai lekin

wahan bhi mujhko KHuda sar-buland rakhta hai
