hamare ghar ka ajib-o-gharib manzar hai
kahin to aag lagi hai kahin samundar hai

wo fasle hain ki mitte nahin kisi surat
safar ka bhut shab-o-roz mere sar par hai

wo ek lafz jo unwan-e-guftugu banta
wo ek lafz meri dastaras se bahar hai

kisi ki aahaten dil ko hilae deti hain
zarur koi mere jism-o-jaan ke andar hai
