gumbad-e-zulm girane ki khabar milti hai
khatim-e-waqt ke aane ki khabar milti hai

wo hunar hath mein aaya mujhe ghar mein baithe
band aankhon se zamane ki khabar milti hai

qais likhta hai mere nam pe name to mujhe
dasht mein khak udane ki khabar milti hai

jaise aayat utarti hain kisi ke dil par
yun musafir ko thikane ki khabar milti hai

yani maslub kiya jaega mujh ko phir se
ek nai dar sajaane ki khabar milti hai

na mujhe ishq mein hoti hai kabhi mat 'suhaib'
na mujhe jaan se jaane ki khabar milti hai
