dhoka tha har ek barg pe tute hue par ka
wa jis ke liye rah gaya daman sharar ka

main ashk hun main os ka qatra hun sharar hun
andaz baham hai mujhe pani ke safar ka

karwat si badalta hai andhera to use bhi
de dete hain hum sada-manush nam sahar ka

tohmat si liye phirte hain sadiyon se sar apne
ruswa hai bahut nam yahan ahl-e-hunar ka

qaem na raha khak se jab rishta-e-jaan to
bas dhul pata puchhne aati thi shajar ka

jo shah ke kandhon ki wajahat ka sabab hai
dekho to bhala taj hai kis kasa-e-sar ka

ashkon se tapan hai kabhi aahon se khunuk hai
ek umr se 'majid' yahi mausam hai nagar ka
