hum ne jo qasidon ko munasib nahin samjha
shah ne bhi hamein apna musahib nahin samjha

kante bhi kuchh is rut mein tarah-dar nahin the
kuchh hum ne ulajhna bhi munasib nahin samjha

khud qatil-e-aqdar-e-sharafat hai zamana
ilzam hai main hifz-e-maraatib nahin samjha

ham-asron mein ye chhed chali aai hai 'azhar'
yan 'zauq' ne 'ghaalib' ko bhi ghaalib nahin samjha
