jab khwahish-e-duniya se koi kaam nahin hai
kyun phir dil-e-shorida ko aaram nahin hai

shamil yahan isbaat mein pahlu-e-nafi hai
kaamil kisi aaghaz ka anjam nahin hai

wo dhup hai aankhon mein ki jal jati hai har sham
manzar hai dhuan koi lab-e-baam nahin hai

kya tarz-e-rifaqat hai ki milte hain ba-sad-shauq
par zikr-e-shanasai-o-paigham nahin hai

tang-zarfi-e-hayyat jise kahte hain ghazal ki
aafaq-e-maani hai wo ibham nahin hai
