adu to kya ye falak bhi use sata na saka
khushi hansa na saki gham jise rula na saka

na puchh us ki dil-afsurdagi ki kaifiyyat
jo gham-nasib khushi mein bhi muskura na saka

wo puchh baithe yakayak jo wajh-e-be-tabi
khuja ke rah gaya sar baat kuchh bana na saka

wo dekh len na kahin meri chashm-e-pur-nam ko
gaya to milne ko aankhen magar mila na saka

ye do-dili mein raha ghar na ghat ka 'anjum'
buton ko kar na saka khush khuda ko pa na saka
