dard hi zist ka unwan hua jata hai kaun paiwast-e-rag-e-jaan hua jata hai dil uchhalta hai khushi se ki wahi shokh hasin meri tanhai ka mehman hua jata hai ek irada hai ki aaghosh-dar-aghosh hua ek lamha hai ki ruman hua jata hai ek masti hai ki aankhon mein bhari rahti hai ek tabassum ki khumistan hua jata hai sharm ke bojh se palkon ka kabhi jhuk jaana maut ka apni ye saman hua jata hai hae kya mahshar-e-khamosh jagaya tu ne dil ke aashob pe ehsan hua jata hai jitna dukh tha mere sine mein simat aaya hai ek nirala sa ye mehman hua jata hai main shahid-e-rah-e-ulfat hun azal se 'sarmad' yahi maslak mera iman hua jata hai
