shikasta chhat mein parindon ko jab thikana mila
main khush hua ki mere ghar ko bhi gharana mila

falak pe udte hue bhi nazar zamin pe rahi
mizaj mujh ko muqaddar se tairana mila

hum is ke husn-e-sukhan ki dalil kya denge
wo jitni bar mila hum se barmala na mila

kisi ki dekhti aankhen bhi aas pas rahen
tujhe mila to ba ehsas-e-mujrimana mila

main apni baat darakhton se kah ke rota hun
ki mere gham ko kisi rut na aashiyana mila

ab aa gaya hai to chup-chap khamushi ko san
mere sukut mein apni koi sada na mila

ladi si tut ke aankhon se gir padi 'nayyar'
labon se harf ka koi bhi silsila na mila
