jhut ki miqdar kam hai aur sachchai bahut
saf-goi se hui hai meri ruswai bahut

apni kam-goi se qad-awar to chhote ban gae
badh gai laffaz baunon ki ab unchai bahut

be-niyazana main apni justuju mein gum raha
yaad un ki mere dil mein aa ke sharmai bahut

tira-bakhti ne asiri mein nibhaya mera sath
rauzan-e-zindan se yun to raushni aai bahut

khokhle alfaz marham ban na pae ai 'raza'
jhute sachche aansuon ne ki masihai bahut
