agarche aankh bahut shokhiyon ki zad mein rahi
meri nigah hamesha adab ki had mein rahi

samajh saka na koi zindagi ki arzish ko
ye jins-e-khas traazu-e-nek-o-bad mein rahi

bahut buland hua tamkanat se taj-e-shahi
kulah-e-faqr magar nazish-e-namad mein rahi

hamesha dard se aari raha ye zahid-e-khushk
ye nash zinda sada gosha-e-lahad mein rahi

dilon mein baith gaya barhaman ka husn-e-bayan
hadis-e-shaikh tilismat-e-radd-o-kad mein rahi
