hijr imkan hoga batate hue
ro pade hum nazar ko jhukate hue

un se wabastagi ka hai aisa asar
mar hi jaenge ulfat nibhate hue

jite ji gar nahin maut par hi sahi
un ka kandha ho mayyat uthate hue

dil ke pannon pe kitni ruba’i likhi
ashk ko raushnai banate hue

'umr sari 'inayat' ki guzregi ab
nam un ka hi likhte mitate hue
