hijab-e-zahir-o-baatin bhi darmiyan mein nahin
ab imtiyaz koi mere jism-o-jaan mein nahin

bhari bahaar mein ab ke ye majra kya hai
ki jumbish aaj koi shakh-e-ashiyan mein nahin

nazar fareb na ho sehr-e-rang-o-bu to yahan
wo kya bahaar hai jo parda-e-khizan mein nahin

musafiran-e-adam ka nishan kahan dhunden
kahin ghubar bhi us rah-e-karwan mein nahin

nazar se ‘wahshi’-e-khasta ke dekhiye to yahan
siwae dasht ke kuchh aur gulsitan mein nahin
