jo qissa tha khud se chhupaya hua
wo tha shahr bhar ko sunaya hua

mukhalif se sulh-o-safai jo ki
kai doston ka safaya hua

jo mahfil mein pahchanta tak na tha
tasawwur mein baitha hai aaya hua

har ek zakhm jaega mere hi sath
namak sab ne hai mera khaya hua

nazar aa raha hai jo wo aasman
ye hai mere rab ka banaya hua
