sochta bolta ek naya aadmi

lafzon ka ambar lagaya

sulagti ret ko dariya nahin kaha maine

ye sochte hue bazar se nikal aaya

shajar kalam karen shahr bhi naya ho jae

khul ke sachchai ka izhaar nahin kar sakte

nadi ne git bhi gaya nahin hai

mere shuur ko is tarah warghalaya gaya

nibah karte hue sham-e-be-qarar ke sath

ishq mein qafila-e-salar nahin chahiye hai
