ba-sad-fareb use kya se kya dikhai de
ki ibtida mein jise intiha dikhai de

kabhi to koh-e-giran tak nazar nahin aae
kabhi hawa ka mujhe naqsh-e-pa dikhai de

tamam rishton ki buniyaad hilne lagti hai
jab aaine mein koi dusra dikhai de

talash karti hai duniya usi ke naqsh-e-qadam
wahi jo bhid mein sab se juda dikhai de

ye hai hamari siyasat ki dil padosi ka
hamare dil mein dhadakta hua dikhai de

falak ko takte us ne guzar din sadiyan
use umid thi shayad khuda dikhai de

yahan furaat hai ganga hai aur jamuna bhi
qadam qadam pe magar karbala dikhai de

ye shahr shahr-e-khamoshan hai ahl-e-danish ka
kahin to ek koi sar-phira dikhai de

ye waqt ka hai taqaza ki hai fareb-e-nazar
ki beta bap ke qad se bada dikhai de

na jaane kaisa nasha hai ghazal ki taj-mahal
kabhi radif kabhi qafiya dikhai de
