go tar-e-ankabut aaya nahin ab tak gumanon mein
magar kuchh makdiyon ki sarsarahat si hai kanon mein

zamin-zadon ko ab mitti se to wabasta rahne do
khudara fasl-e-nau ka zauq rahne do kisanon mein

saron se aasman bhi kya hataya jaane wala hai
shabihen mehr-o-mah ki tankte ho kyon makanon mein

zara thahro ugegi bhuk bhi kaghaz ke pedon par
abhi to hath bante ja rahe hain baghbanon mein

bahut mumkin hai patthar ke zamane ke nazar aao
agar paida kiya jae tumhein pichhle zamanon mein

na panje hain na par hain aur na hai parwaz ki taqat
jo naghma-sanj hona ho to luknat hai zabanon mein

chala aata hai basti mein liye zambil fatwon ki
tu aisa kar basera kar pahadon ki chatanon mein
