karen phir un se tajdid-e-wafa kya
mitaen darmiyan ka fasla kya

agar wo mom hota to pighalta
wo patthar hai to patthar ka gila kya

kisi ke kaam aana zindagi hai
nahin to jine se phir faeda kya

ye kis ko dekh ke hairan ho tum
tumhaare ru-ba-ru hai aaina kya

kahan 'ghaalib' kahan ‘imran-saghar'
zamin ka aasman se wasta kya
