dil hai apna na ab jigar dar-pesh
hai teri chashm-e-mo'atabar dar-pesh

log bimar kyun na pad jate
jab ki tha husn-e-chaara-gar dar-pesh

main hua chahta tha be-qabu
zindagi ho gai magar dar-pesh

baat kahni hai aur is mein bhi
lafz-o-mani ka hai safar dar-pesh

ahl-e-naqd-o-nazar pareshan hain
jab se 'jami' ka hai hunar dar-pesh
