safar hi koi rahega na fasla koi
ye ek khayal hai is par bhi tabsira koi

raqam hua hun yaqin o qayas donon mein
kare to kaise kare mera tajziya koi

wo dast-e-sang hai main aaina-girafta hun
na ho sakega kabhi hum mein tasfiya koi

zamin pe aae na aae ye wahm hai sab ko
khala ki god mein palta hai hadsa koi

main ek lakir ka qaidi hun bawajud is ke
har ek lakir se milta hai silsila koi

na jaane kis liye rota hun hanste hanste main
basa hua hai nigahon mein aaina koi

hawa sulati hai daman mein zard patton ko
use bhi chahiye jine ka mashghala koi

bhala hai dur rahe ek harif ki manind
hai phir bhi sae ka mujh se muamla koi

likha gaya nahin 'manzur' aaj tak shayad
shafaq ke bab mein subhon ka tazkira koi
