biphre dariya ki rawani se nikal aae hain
hum bina bhige hi pani se nikal aae hain

shukr hai itne samajhdar hue hain bachche
raja rani ki kahani se nikal aae hain

aaina dekh ke hairan hua hai kya kya
aankh jhapki to jawani se nikal aae hain

kina rakh kar to mila karta tha hum se aksar
hum teri charb-zabani se nikal aae hain

sun le ai hum ko tan-asan samajhne wale
hum dabe panw kahani se nikal aae hain

hum ki hijrat ke azabon se guzarne wale
aakhirash naql-e-makani se nikal aae hain

aap ke naqsh mitane ki sai la-hasil
aap phir meri kahani se nikal aae hain

zindagi ab nai uljhan mein na uljha hum ko
hum teri shoala-bayani se nikal aae hain

kis tarah aae yaqin ab teri baaton pe 'ghazal'
hum teri shokh-bayani se nikal aae hain
