bhar jaenge jab zakhm to aaunga dobara
main haar gaya jang magar dil nahin haara

raushan hai meri umr ke tarik chaman mein
is kunj-e-mulaqat mein jo waqt guzara

apne liye tajwiz ki shamshir-e-barhana
aur us ke liye shakh se ek phul utara

kuchh sikh lo lafzon ko baratne ka saliqa
is shughl mein guzra hai bahut waqt hamara

lab khole pari-zad ne aahista se 'sarwat'
jon guftugu karta hai sitare se sitara
