duniya hai ye kisi ka na is mein qusur tha
do doston ka mil ke bichhadna zarur tha

us ke karam pe shak tujhe zahid zarur tha
warna tera qusur na karna qusur tha

tum dur jab talak the to naghma bhi tha fughan
tum pas aa gae to alam bhi surur tha

us ek nazar ke bazm mein qisse bane hazar
utna samajh saka jise jitna shuur tha

ek dars thi kisi ki ye fankari-e-nigah
koi na zad mein tha na koi zad se dur tha

bas dekhne hi mein thin nigahen kisi ki talkh
shirin sa ek payam bhi bainassutur tha

pite to hum ne shaikh ko dekha nahin magar
nikla jo mai-kade se to chehre pe nur tha

'mulla' ka masjidon mein to hum ne suna na nam
zikr us ka mai-kadon mein magar dur dur tha
