be-his o kaj-fahm o la-parwa kahe
kal muarrikh jaane hum ko kya kahe

is tarah rahte hain is ghar ke makin
jis tarah bahra sune gunga kahe

raaz-ha-e-zabt-e-gham kya chhup saken
hont jab khamosh hon chehra kahe

is liye har shakhs ko dekha kiya
kash koi to mujhe apna kahe

hai takallum aaina ehsas ka
jis ki jaisi soch ho waisa kahe

padh chuke dariya qasida abr ka
kya zaban-e-khushk se sahra kahe

bad-gumani sirf meri zat se
main to wo kahta hun jo duniya kahe
