kitne akhbar-faroshon ko sahafi likkha
na-mukammal ko bhi khadim ne izafi likkha

tu ne bhule se na samjhi mere jazbe ki kasak
main ne barson teri aankhon ko ghilafi likkha

hath utha sakte the mere bhi baghawat ka alam
main ne har zulm ke khane main muafi likkha

ishq ki khair ho allah ki na-shukron ne
ek adhuri si mulaqat ko kafi likkha

aap duniya ko samajhte rahen saman-e-tarab
main ne sanson ko gunahon ki talafi likkha

wo hi karta raha andar se malamat mujh ko
main ne jo lafz usulon ke munafi likkha

bewaqufon ne meri aabla-pai ka ilaj
hansi aati hai ki hamdard ki safi likkha
