hans hans ke bolne ki faza kaun le gaya
aangan se shor-o-ghul ki sada kaun le gaya

pine lagi hain zahr-e-tafakkur shararten
bachchon se bhole-pan ki ada kaun le gaya

sach bolne ki sari riwayat kahan gai
wirse mein jo mili thi faza kaun le gaya

de ke shajar shajar ko udasi ki tez dhup
shakhon se pattiyon ki rida kaun le gaya

aasudgi ki khoj mein nikla hun su-e-dasht
shahron ki pur-sukun faza kaun le gaya

barud rakh ke mere darichon ke aas-pas
sarsabz wadiyon ki hawa kaun le gaya

mehnat-kashon ko bhuk hi khairaat mein mili
rawaq ban ke rizq-e-wafa kaun le gaya
