mere kalam mein pechida istiara nahin
ki harf-e-sidq chhupana mujhe gawara nahin

mere liye yahi maujen hain daman-e-iliyas
bhanwar mein hun mere donon taraf kinara nahin

duaen mangta hun subh ke ujalon ki
andheri wasl ki shab bhi mujhe gawara nahin

tere mizaj ke resham mein kaise aag lagi
meri ghazal ka khunuk lafz to sharara nahin

dil-o-dimagh ko kya dega raushni wo 'hazin'
nai hayat ka jo lafz goshwara nahin
