baat ek jaisi hai hajw ya qasida likh
be-niyaziyan us ki ho ke aabdida likh

jama kar ye aawazen meri khud-kalami ki
aur un ke imle se dard ka jarida likh

zehn ki hidayat hai katib-e-zamana ko
aql ki dalilon se aaj ka aqida likh

rang-o-raushnai ki hadd-e-auj se upar
ho sake to andazan qamat-e-kashida likh

dekh un khalaon mein nuqta-ha-e-nur us ke
tu bhi ek khaliq hai sher chida chida likh
