kursi-e-dil pe tere jate hi dard aa baithe
jaise aaina-e-be-kar pe gard aa baithe

pahli manzil pe hi takra ke gire duniya se
panw tudwa ke tamam ahl-e-naward aa baithe

dawat-e-did jo us qamat-e-rangin ki mili
bazm mein hum bhi liye ye rukh-e-zard aa baithe

aurten kaam pe nikli thin badan ghar rakh kar
jism khali jo nazar aae to mard aa baithe

shahr ek samt se jangal sa nazar aane laga
shahr ke dil mein bhi kya dasht-naward aa baithe

'farhat-ehsas' ki tazim mein uttha tha samaj
aur wo us ki jagah surat-e-fard aa baithe
