doston ke hu-ba-hu paikar ka andaza laga
ek patthar ke badan par kanch ka chehra laga

dekhne wali nigahon mein agar tazhik hai
kaun kahta tha bhare bazar mein mela laga

khwahishon ke ped se girte hue patte na chun
zindagi ke sehn mein ummid ka pauda laga

tere andar ki khizan mayus kar degi tujhe
khidkiyon mein phul rakh diwar par sabza laga

waqt har dukh ka masiha ho nahin sakta 'nawed'
zakhm apne dil pe mat ehsas ka gahra laga
