aadmi jab khun ka pyasa hua
azmat-e-insan bhi dhoka hua

aap ko shohrat mili achchha hua
mera kya hai main agar ruswa hua

qabr par aaoge rone ke liye
meri jaan ye bhi koi wada hua

wada-e-farda pe jo talta rahe
wo mariz-e-hijr kab achchha hua

jab meri aawargi had se badhi
aabla-pa lala-e-sahra hua

ab chaman mein wo sakun 'ahsan' kahan
ek nasheman tha mila jalta hua
