ab tere liye hain na zamane ke liye hain
hum gosha-e-tanhai sajaane ke liye hain

matlab meri tahrir ka alfaz se mat puchh
alfaz to mafhum chhupane ke liye hain

han tere taghaful se pareshan hain hum bhi
ye tanz ke tewar to dikhane ke liye hain

tum samne ho phir bhi chale aae zaban par
wo git jo tanhai mein gane ke liye hain

khat waqai kya khub hai ek parda-nashin ka
alfaz ibarat ko chhupane ke liye hain
