adam mein kya ajab ranaiyan hain
magar sab dahr ki parchhaiyan hain

bhali lagti nahin takrar itni
ba-zahir be-zarar sachchaiyan hain

wo khud shoale se ab daman bachae
bahut ruswa meri tanhaiyan hain

main apne war kha kar aur biphrun
ghazab ki marka-araiyan hain

hai aalam ek jaisa har khushi ka
alam ki an-ginat pahnaiyan hain

junun ke sar hai jo ilzam 'shahin'
hawas ki hashiya-araiyan hain
