faqat zamin hi nahin aasman mera hai
faqir-e-‘ishq hun sara jahan mera hai

hasab nasab ki ye baaten to kaghazi hain faqat
jahan bhi 'ishq hai wo khandan mera hai

mera wajud hai qaem isi ta'alluq se
hawaen us ki hain aur baadban mera hai

meri ghazal abhi mayus ho nahin sakti
abhi to shahr mein ek qadr-dan mera hai

abhi to par bhi nahin khole us ne udne ko
abhi se kahne laga aasman mera hai
