khud lafz pas-e-lafz kabhi dekh sake bhi
kaghaz ki ye diwar kisi tarah gire bhi

kis dard se raushan hai siyah-khana-e-hasti
suraj nazar aata hai hamein raat gae bhi

wo hum ki ghurur-e-saf-e-ada-shikni the
aakhir sar-e-bazar hue khwar bike bhi

bahti hain rag o pai mein do-abe ki hawaen
ek aur samundar hai samundar se pare bhi

akhlaq o sharafat ka andhera hai wo ghar mein
jalte nahin masum gunahon ke diye bhi
