sang aur khisht-e-malamat se bacha lo mujh ko
apne darbar ki diwar bana lo mujh ko

para-para ho ana aur sar-e-maghrur fana
gend ki tarah fazaon mein uchhaalo mujh ko

luqma-e-tar ne mere nafs ko barbaad kiya
yaad karte raho kankar ke niwalo mujh ko

jaane kis qabr ka hai paikar-e-khali mera
main khilauna hun to bas tod hi dalo mujh ko

dasht-e-pur-khar mein hun ek shajar-e-kham abhi
apni dahliz ka takhta hi bana lo mujh ko

ek nazar ek nazar ek nazar ek nazar
sirf duzdida-nazar dal ke talo mujh ko

'kawisham' kya hai samajh mein kabhi aa jaega
gham-zada git samajh kar kabhi ga lo mujh ko
