dil mein tufan uthate hue jazbaat bhi hain hum hain khamosh ki kuchh apni riwayat bhi hain mohtasib hi se nahin nala-ba-lab jam-o-subu sang uthae hue khud ahl-e-kharabaat bhi hain mastiyon mein kabhi mil jate hain insan ab bhi jaise sahraon mein shadab maqamat bhi hain dekhiye mujh se wo kab aa ke gale milta hai the jo mere wahi ab ghair ke haalat bhi hain ashk hi ashk nahin ghaur se dekhoge agar in sulagti hui aankhon mein hikayat bhi hain un ke daman pe lahu kis ko yaqin aaega jin ke chehron pe taqaddus ki alamat bhi hain kya kahin kaun si rahon mein hain pamal 'karam' hum ki zinda hain magar kushta-haalat bhi hain
