pani ko khun khun ko pani likhega kaun
jab tum nahin kabir ki bani likhega kaun

bachpan ki man-pasand kahani likhega kaun
raja tha ek ek thi rani likhega kaun

yakta hun apne fan mein magar ai meri ghazal
har sher mein hai kaisi rawani likhega kaun

murjha chuke hain chehron ke manind lafz bhi
'sima' ji ab shagufta kahani likhega kaun
