chandni se bhi jal rahe hain log
lamha lamha pighal rahe hain log

jaane kya baat hai ki maqtal se
munh chhupae nikal rahe hain log

kaise pahchanun aashnaon ko
apna chehra badal rahe hain log

mangte hain qadam purani zamin
kaise pani pe chal rahe hain log

hum to barbaad hain murawwat mein
aur sab phul phal rahe hain log

hai ye taslim hum hain nazm-e-jadid
mere purkhe ghazal rahe hain log

hai ye 'jawed' aaj rasm-e-jahan
munh se shoale ugal rahe hain log
