apni khata ko is ne mere nam likh diya
us par kamal ye ki sar-e-am likh diya

andhon ke darmiyan rahun aaina misal
mere liye khuda ne ajab kaam likh diya

naraaz hai wo mujh se bas itni si baat par
tira-shabi ko din na likha sham likh diya

kuchh ban pada na hasrat-e-tamir se to phir
ujde hue khandar ko dar-o-baam likh diya

jab tirgi badhegi to chamkega aur bhi
dil ke lahu se hum ne tera nam likh diya

kahte hain kis ko sabr-o-tahammul ye hum se puchh
taklif jo mili use aaram likh diya

ye bhi hua ki jis ne ujade the ghar ke ghar
munsif ne us ko laeq-e-inam likh diya

chahi thi main ne jis ki bhalai tamam umr
us ne meri duaon ko dushnam likh diya

koi to baat hogi ki ahl-e-nigah ne
jitne samar the pukhta unhen kham likh diya

ab wasta pada hai to 'mahir' khula ye raaz
patthar badan ko hum ne gul-andam likh diya
