jab main dil ka hisab likhta hun
gham ko apne gulab likhta hun

koi ummid jab nahin hoti
khud ke khat ka jawab likhta hun

itna mayus us ne kar dala
us ka jalwa hijab likhta hun

lakh samjhae mujh ko tu naseh
teri baaten azab likhta hun

sari duniya hai jaanti 'sarwar'
main to ghazlen kharab likhta hun
