haram-o-dair-o-kalisa se nikal aaya hun
tab kahin ja ke main insan se mil paya hun

kale patthar pe bhatakte hue qadmon ke nishan
mujh se miliye main nai nasl ka sarmaya hun

main bhi ehsas ki bhatti mein pada hun ye bata
kaise angare teri palkon pe dekh aaya hun

fasla kitna bhi ho is ghani aabaadi mein
ye haqiqat hai ki main aap ka ham-saya hun

mujh ko zaea na karo aankhon mein rahne do mujhe
hun to qatra hi magar aap garan-maya hun

aur kuchh der isi shakh pe rahne dije
abhi ehsas hai zinda abhi murjhaya hun

mujh ko alfaz ka jadu nahin aata 'naqwi'
baat jo dil mein rahi hai wo na kah paya hun
