kisi bhi kaam ka mera hunar nahin na sahi
hawa-e-dahr muafiq agar nahin na sahi

kuan hai aur sabhi naqidan-e-sher-o-adab
mere kalam pe un ki nazar nahin na sahi

ye teri bazm hai yan tera sikka chalta hai
koi bhi baat meri mo'tabar nahin na sahi

yahi bahut hai ki kuchh log sochne to lage
koi bhi mera agar hum nazar nahin na sahi

hawa ka kya hai hawa rukh badalti rahti hai
teri nigah agar aaj idhar nahin na sahi

dilon se uthne lagi hain ajab ajab lahren
kisi bhi aankh mein koi khabar nahin na sahi

ilaj mein to na main koi kasar chhodunga
kisi dawa mein bhi koi asar nahin na sahi

shajar lagae hain main ne ye kam nahin eazaz
mere nasib mein 'ruhi' samar nahin na sahi
