aise aalam mein bhala kis ka pakadta daman
the sabhi log jahan khasta darida-daman

aaj aaluda nazar aata hai daman us ka
jis ka mashhur-e-zamana raha ujla daman

itni fursat hai kise kaun bhala dekhega
ashk-e-khunin se labrez kisi ka daman

hai baja aap ki angusht-numai lekin
kabhi dekhen to sahi aap bhi apna daman

gul-e-ummid se phir aaj wo khushbu phuti
jis se 'maqbul' meri zist ka mahka daman
