falak ne sikha hai haalat ko zubun karna
har ek ghar ko kisi tarah be-sutun karna

simat ke aae na aashuftagi zamane ki
dil-o-nigah mein ashkon se kuchh sukun karna

hinai dast ko lahra ke khush fazaon mein
khushi se laut ke aane ka ek shugun karna

wo laut aae to shikwe bhi multawi honge
hisab-e-dard ko ab aur kya fuzun karna

fasil-e-shahr mein aaseb bhul jaane ka
pahan ke yaad ki tawiz kya fusun karna

na hosh aae mujhe pattharon ki basti mein
utha ke sang mujhe sahib-e-junun karna

jo dastaras mein ho tazin-e-jism-o-jaan agar
kisi ki yaad se hi zinat-e-darun karna

hua hai khun bhi 'sughra' ka khwab banne mein
ki maslahat hi ki khatir na khwab khun karna
