hausle aur siwa ho gae parwanon ke
shoale arman badha dete hain diwanon ke

yahi aalam hai agar laghzish-e-mastana ka
dher lag jaenge tute hue paimanon ke

taur badla na agar ahl-e-chaman ne apna
nazar aaenge manazir yahin viranon ke

aah-e-mazlum agar dil se nikal jaegi
khak par dher nazar aaenge aiwanon ke

qissa-e-sarmad-o-mansur na chhed ai hamdam
warna jazbaat bhadak uthenge diwanon ke

aap mahfil mein na aate to bahut achchha tha
aaj to hosh ude jate hain farzanon ke

daur-e-hazir ki kashakash ka ye aalam hai ki bas
hausle past hue jate hain insanon ke

kya bigadegi bhala shorish-e-tufan us ka
jis ne rukh mod diye barha tufanon ke

dosto baaten banate ho sar-e-sahil kya
aao rukh mod ke dekhen zara tufanon ke

us se ummid-e-karam kya kare koi 'kashfi'
kaam aata ho jo apnon ke na beganon ke
