abhi hairat ziyaada aur ujala kam rahega
ghazal mein ab ke bhi tera hawala kam rahega

meri wahshat pe sahra tang hota ja raha hai
kaha to tha ye aangan la-mahaala kam rahega

bhala wo husn kis ki dastaras mein aa saka hai
ki sari umr bhi likkhen maqala kam rahega

bahut se dukh to aise bhi diye tum ne ki jin ka
mudawa ho nahin sakta izala kam rahega

wo chandi ka ho sone ka ho ya phir ho lahu ka
'salim' ahl-e-hawas ko har niwala kam rahega
