kaha takhliq-e-fan bole bahut dushwar to hogi
kaha makhluq bole bais-e-azar to hogi

kaha: hum kya karen is ahd-e-na-pursan mein kuchh kahiye
wo bole koi aakhir surat-e-izhaar to hogi

kaha: hum apni marzi se safar bhi kar nahin sakte
wo bole har qadam par ek nai diwar to hogi

kaha: aankhen nahin is gham mein binai bhi jati hai
wo bole hijr ki shab hai zara dushwar to hogi

kaha: jalta hai dil bole ise jalne diya jae
andhere mein kisi ko raushni darkar to hogi

kaha: ye kucha-gardi aur kitni der tak aakhir
wo bole ishq mein mitti tumhaari khwar to hogi
