koi fihrist lafzon ki ya google ko khangalega
wo meri chup se ab koi naya matlab nikalega

muqabil kar diya us ke agar aaina main ne to
zaban se zahr uglega koi patthar utha lega

mujhe malum hai us tak to khali khat hi jaega
mera qasid hi dimak ban ke lafzon ko uda lega

zara daman ko phailaya kai logon ne dukh dale
main samjhi thi koi hamdard mere gham utha lega

khade the log sahil par tamasha dekhne wale
main khush-fahmi mein dubi thi koi aa kar bacha lega

apahij sari duniya hai koi andha koi bahra
koi mange mere sapne koi aankhen chura lega

mujhe is dil ke zindan se hai behtar aankh ka dariya
duboega ye pani gar to lashen bhi uchhaalega

lab-e-sahil to aate hain faqat kuchh khol sipon ke
jo gahrai mein jaega wahi gauhar nikalega

kisi mitti ko gundhega kahin patthar tarashega
hunar hai us ke hathon mein nai 'fauzi' bana lega
