aansu ko apne dida-e-tar se nikalna
lagta hai mehman ko ghar se nikalna

sukhe hue shajar mein lahhu to nahin hai khushk
konpal koi numu ki shajar se nikalna

is yakh-zada faza mein gar udne ka qasd hai
be-his ruton ki barf ko par se nikalna

jis subh ke jilau mein shabon ka hujum ho
kirnon ko aise dam-e-sahar se nikalna

jis se shab-e-hayat ka sannata tut jae
aawaz aisi saz-e-hunar se nikalna

sab ka nahin ye ahl-e-basirat ka kaam hai
gahri khabar bhi sathi khabar se nikalna

rasta kathin ho lakh na hona 'hazin' malul
pahlu khushi ka ranj-e-safar se nikalna
