chand lafzon ke jal mein rakkha
dil ko ranj-o-malal mein rakha

gham ka saya bhi us ne ek la kar
nazm-e-roz-e-visal mein rakha

jo bhi hum ne jawab mein chaha
us ko apne sawal mein rakkha

zindagi ko bhi hum ne dawat di
maut ko bhi khayal mein rakkha

jo ana thi wo taq par rakkhi
khud ko us ke jalal mein rakkha

jo bhi jazba uchhaalna chaha
wo ghazal ke jamal mein rakkha
