jab tere tasawwur se taslim ki shah pai
chup-chap raha shair dasti rahi tanhai

sad-rang gulistan hain raqsan pas-e-manzar mein
allah re is gul ki ye anjuman-arai

shayad teri yaadon se kuchh is ka ta'alluq hai
ek aag laga baithi ye dur ki shahnai

ye ijz-e-hunar kab hai izhaar-e-haqiqat hai
imkan se aage hai zarraat ki pahnai

shair ki ibaadat hai mahtab ke mandir mein
tere but-e-simin ke qadmon pe jabin-sai

'qazi' mere sine ki ye aag sulagti si
bhigi hui raaton ne kuchh aur bhi bhadkai
