harf shirin hain magar lahja hai nashtar jaisa
waza phulon si hai kirdar hai patthar jaisa

jis pe thahri hai nazar meri badi mushkil se
kash andar se bhi wo shakhs ho bahar jaisa

ruh mein ho chuka tahlil mera har unsur
jism kya hai faqat ek zahiri paikar jaisa

narm aisa hai ki milte hi pighal jata hai
aur chhu lije to ho jae hai patthar jaisa

tujh mein nadiyon ki tarah maujen na hongi ek din
main bhi ho jaunga khamosh samundar jaisa

lakh jhuta sahi mabud to ban jata hai
jis ki taqdir mein fankar ho aazar jaisa

shor nadiyon ki tarah wo kabhi karte hi nahin
hausla rakhte hain jo log samundar jaisa

waqt ka koi khuda us ko jhuka sakta nahin
khun mein jis ke ho jauhar koi jauhar jaisa
