bahut ajib hai tamir koi ghar karna
ram-e-ghazal ko mahdud-e-baam-o-dar karna

numu ka zor tha khushbu faza mein lahrai
yahi to hai qafas-e-rang mein basar karna

qarar maut hai manzil-pazir qadmon ki
musafiron ko phir aamada-e-safar karna

zamana yaad se teri lipat ke roega
mushahida tu ai uftada-e-nazar karna

main jis se kat ke juda ho gaya tanawar tha
hai us ke nam raqam saya-e-shajar karna

baid kya hai ki jugnu se chand dhal jae
zara si aanch ko is tarah shoala-war karna

kabhi latif badan par shikan bhi phabti hai
kabhi ye pairahan aaluda lams-bhar karna
