fani kahan hai hasti-e-fani ka shor bhi
shamil hai is mein naql-e-makani ka shor bhi

hassas hun aur is pe wo shiddat ki pyas hai
sunta hun ab sarab mein pani ka shor bhi

aisa sukut tha ki sunai diya mujhe
harf-e-tahi mein mauj-e-maani ka shor bhi

be-barg-o-bar ped se rahte hain dur dur
rah-gir bhi hawa-e-khizani ka shor bhi

khakistar-e-badan mein sulagti hai koi chiz
bujhta nahin abhi ye jawani ka shor bhi

teri ghazal padhi to ye jaana 'rafiq'-raaz
pani ke shor mein hai rawani ka shor bhi
