bezar is qadar hain teri be-rukhi se hum
muddat hui ki milte nahin hain kisi se hum

puchha kisi ne haal to bas muskura diye
sach baat ko bhi tal gae sadgi se hum

apne bhi bad-guman hain zamana bhi hai khafa
baz aae tere ishq teri dilbari se hum

hum ko hamare ghar ka andhera aziz hai
rahte hain dur dur nai raushni se hum

ku-e-butan se hum bhi guzarte hain gah-gah
rakhte hain rasm-o-rah magar dur hi se hum

hum shairi ko bojh samajhte nahin 'majid'
lete hain zindagi ka maza shairi se hum
