jab ye aalam ho to likhiye lab-o-rukhsar pe khak
udti hai khana-e-dil ke dar-o-diwar pe khak

tu ne mitti se ulajhne ka natija dekha
dal di mere badan ne teri talwar pe khak

hum ne muddat se ulat rakkha hai kasa apna
dast-e-dadar tere dirham-o-dinar pe khak

putliyan garmi-e-nazzara se jal jati hain
aankh ki khair miyan raunaq-e-bazar pe khak

jo kisi aur ne likkha hai use kya malum
lauh-e-taqdir baja chehra-e-akhbar pe khak

chaar diwar-e-anasir ki haqiqat kitni
ye bhi ghar dub gaya dida-e-khun-bar pe khak

pa-e-wahshat ne ajab naqsh banae the yahan
ai hawa-e-sar-e-sahra teri raftar pe khak

ye ghazal likh ke harifon pe uda di main ne
jam rahi thi mere aaina-e-ashaar pe khak

ye bhi dekho ki kahan kaun bulata hai tumhein
mahzar-e-shauq padho mahzar-e-sarkar pe khak

aap kya naqd-e-do-alam se kharidenge ise
ye to diwane ka sar hai sar-e-pindar pe khak
