apne jauhar se siwa bhi koi qimat mange
dil wo aaina nahin hai ki jo surat mange

main ne dariyaon mein bhi dasht ka manzar dekha
jab ki pyasa koi pani ki ijazat mange

us ki raftar ki taswir banai na gai
kis qayamat ko ye hangam qayamat mange

naz ki qamat-e-zeba ki bayan kya kije
pairahan bhi jahan uslub-e-nazakat mange

jitna hota hai kam aasar-e-khushi ka lamha
dil mera dard se utni bhi na mohlat mange

har taraf shor hai aawazon ka taswiron ka
kaun ghabra ke na ab gosha-e-uzlat mange

khwab utre hain mere zehn pe jaise ilham
kaun in khwabon se tabir ki qimat mange

kaun maslub hua kis pe laga hai ilzam
kashmakash aisi hai insaf adalat mange
