fusun-e-rang tajalli-e-khwab-zar na de
nigah de bhi to minnat-kash-e-sahaar na de

kuchh aur zauq-e-tajassus ko murtaish kar de
sukun nazar ko na de qalb ko qarar na de

tawahhumat ke sahra se phir guzar mujhe
yaqin ka soz na de harf-e-e'tibar na de

na de wo zor ke iman zulm par rakkhun
shiar jabr ko samjhun wo ikhtiyar na de

main qarz-khwar agar hun to phir taqaza na kar
to sud-khwar hai to zindagi udhaar na de

chhupa chhupa ke na rakh harf harf mein khud ko
junun-shiar nazar-pairahan utar na de
