gungi chikhen banjh bhuk aur is bebas sannate mein
hum ne apni ghazlen khojin chulhe chauke aate mein

sab par ek ek subh lutane hum suraj le baithe the
apna kya hai jo na aae wo hi rah gae ghate mein

mahak uthe tere chhune se hum par sab ko yahi laga
chandan ki bhi ruh chhupi hai is babul ke kante mein

chor-uchakkon ke jai-karon se gunje un ke daure
aksar jeben katin hamari un ke sair-sapate mein

aazadi ki khat pe soi khadi ki ujli ninden
ganw ki dab gai siskiyan dilli ke kharrate mein

jahan kahin bhi kalak dekhi hum ne to bas war kiya
par logon ko ghazal nazar aati hai apne chante mein
