khuda rakhe meri diwangi ko
na bhula hun na bhulunga kisi ko

na kar ruswa mazaq-e-mai-kashi ko
bujha le be-piye hi tishnagi ko

mere nazdik tamhid-e-alam hai
khushi main kah nahin sakta khushi ko

luta kar kaenat-e-zindagani
ba-mushkil aaj paya hai kisi ko

sahaara le raha hun bebasi ka
mukammal kar raha hun zindagi ko

na samjha hai na samjhega zamana
khudi ke sath rabt-e-be-khudi ko

dikha kar ek jhalak chhup jaane wale
nigahen dhundhti hain phir tujhi ko

ghazal be-kaif thi muddat se 'rahi'
duaen do 'jigar' ki shairi ko
