jo sahra hai use kaise samundar likh diya jae
ghazal mein kis tarah rahzan ko rahbar likh diya jae

qalam ke dosh par ho imtihan ka bojh jis had tak
magar haq to ye hai patthar ko patthar likh diya jae

kisi inam ki khatir na hoga hum se ye hargiz
ki ek shahin ko jangali kabutar likh diya jae

sitam ki dastan kis raushnai se raqam hogi
lahu ki dhaar se daftar ka daftar likh diya jae

kisanon ko mayassar jab nahin do waqt ki roti
to aise khet ko be-sud-o-banjar likh diya jae

hamari tishnagi se bhi koi masrur hota hai
hamari pyas ko labrez saghar likh diya jae

qalam ko main ne bhi talwar aakhir kar liya 'talib'
meri nok-e-qalam ko nok-e-khanjar likh diya jae
