hamara ishq hai tafriq in-o-an se buland
zamin-nashin hain magar hain hum aasman se buland

bahaar khak-ba-daman hai pastiyon mein abhi
chaman agarche umidon ka hai khizan se buland

hayat-e-qatra hai dariya ke sath wabasta
wo ud gaya jo hua mauja-e-rawan se buland

khiram-gah-e-nigaran agar nahin na sahi
magar main dil ko samajhta hun kahkashan se buland

mazaq-e-ishq nahin pa-e-band-e-dair-o-haram
hamara maslak-e-din hai har aastan se buland

'salam' hansti hui bijliyon ka tod ye hai
ki aashiyan mein raho fikr-e-ashiyan se buland
