jo kuchh bhi ye jahan ki zamane ki ghar ki hai
rudad ek lamha-e-wahshat-asar ki hai

phir dhadkanon mein guzre huon ke qadam ki chap
sanson mein ek ajib hawa phir udhar ki hai

phir dur manzaron se nazar ko hai wasta
phir in dinon faza mein hikayat safar ki hai

pahli kiran ki dhaar se kat jaenge ye par
izhaar ki udan faqat raat bhar ki hai

idrak ke ye dukh ye azab aagahi ke dost!
kis se kahen khata nigah-e-khud-nigar ki hai

wo an-kahi si baat sukhan ko jo pur kare
'saz' apni shaeri mein kami us kasar ki hai
