diwaron ko dil se bahar rakhne wale
hum banjare kandhe par ghar rakhne wale

kuch ka jab bhi gajar baje uth kar chal denge
bandha hua hum apna bistar rakhne wale

kaisi parwazen kaisi aazad fazaen
kunj-e-qafas mein khush hain shahpar rakhne wale

aanch se jugnu ki chattanen sulag rahi hain
shoale ugalen mom ka paikar rakhne wale

be-chehra lamhe bhi aaina rakhte hain
pas-manzar hain apna manzar rakhne wale

na-waqif hain harfon ki tauqir se 'aslam'
sheron mein lafzon ka daftar rakhne wale
