dast-bardar zindagi se hua
aur ye sauda meri khushi se hua

aagahi bhi na kar saki pura
jitna nuqsan aagahi se hua

main hua bhi to ek din raushan
apne andar ki raushni se hua

zindagi mein kasak zaruri thi
ye khala pur teri kami se hua

dil tarafdar-e-hijr tha hi nahin
ab hua bhi to be-dili se hua

shor jitna hai kaenat mein shor
mere andar ki khamushi se hua

kaisa mansab hai aadmi ka ki rab
jab mukhatib hua usi se hua

ped ho ya ki aadmi 'ghaer'
sar-buland apni aajizi se hua
