jabr ne jab mujhe ruswa sar-e-bazar kiya
sabr ne mere mujhe sahab-e-dastar kiya

meri lafzon ki imarat giri kaam aai mere
meri ghazlon ne mere nam ko minar kiya

apne hathon mein kudurat ki kudalen le kar
mere apnon ne meri zat ko mismar kiya

yaad jab aaya koi wada-e-tamir mujhe
main ne tab jism ki har por ko meamar kiya

aur phir sabz ishaara hua us par se jab
main ne ek jast mein dariya-e-bala par kiya

aaj phir khak bahut roi lipat kar mujh se
aaj phir qabr ne baba ki mujhe pyar kiya

chand ne raat mere sath mere dukh bante
subh suraj ne bhi girya sar-e-diwar kiya

aag ashjar ko lagne se kai din pahle
main ne ro ro ke parindon ko khabar-dar kiya

aisa matam kabhi dariya ka na dekha na suna
jaane kis pyas ne pani ko aza-dar kiya

jab hawa dene lagi thande dilase mujh ko
kuchh charaghon ne bhi afsos ka izhaar kiya

dekh kar jalti hui jhonpadi kal shab 'wasif'
main ne soe hue darwesh ko bedar kiya
