hadson hi mein zindagi ji hai
hum ne qiston mein khud-kushi ki hai

jhuk ke jina hamein nahin aata
aur aawaz bhi kuchh unchi hai

aap se kuchh gila nahin sahab
apni taqdir hi kuchh aisi hai

sher padhna yahan sambhal ke miyan
aur basti nahin ye dilli hai

chehra us ka kitab jaisa hai
aur rangat gulab ki si hai

hum ne 'rahmat' ghazal ke lahje mein
'mir'-sahib se guftugu ki hai
