aql par us ki gir pada patthar
jis ne pars ko kah diya patthar

qasr shishe ka jab hua tamir
har taraf se baras gaya patthar

sang-e-marmar wo kaise ban sakta
fitratan jo siyah tha patthar

wo buton ko khuda na kyon samjhe
kaam jis ka hai pujna patthar

dil ko dil se gazand yun pahunchi
ek shisha tha dusra patthar

aaine ka nahin muhafiz wo
kaam jis ka hai marna patthar

mom hota nahin kabhi 'nadim'
khushnuma ho ki bad-numa patthar
