jurat-e-izhaar se rokegi kya
maslahat mera qalam chhinegi kya

main musafir din ki jalti dhup ka
raat mera dard pahchanegi kya

be-karan hun main samundar ki tarah
mauj-e-shabnam qad mera napegi kya

chal pada hun sar pe le kar aasman
panw ke niche zamin thahregi kya

shahr-e-gul ki rahne wali aagahi
mere zakhmon ki zaban samjhegi kya

chehra chehra aalm-e-be-chehragi
dekh kar bhi zindagi dekhegi kya

main to logo sah lun har patthar ka jabr
waqt ki shishagari sochegi kya

hasraton ki aanch mein is ko tapa
yun badan ki tirgi pighlegi kya

nutq se lab tak hai sadiyon ka safar
khamushi ye dukh bhala jhelegi kya

kya tawaqqo kor-zehnon se 'faza'
koelon se raushni phutegi kya
