dekhne wale ko bahar se guman hota nahin
aag kuchh aise lagai hai dhuan hota nahin

apne hone ki khabar deta hai khushbu se mujhe
phailta hai chaar-su aur darmiyan hota nahin

raushni kar de tamasha-gah se dahshat mite
kohr itna hai ki pas-e-manzar ayan hota nahin

sochna chaho to zer-e-pa mile haft-asman
dekhna chaho to zine ka nishan hota nahin

muntazir rahne se 'hamid' qufl ko zarben laga
aap hi khul jae dar aisa yahan hota nahin
