lamha-e-takhliq bakhsha us ne mujh ko bhik mein
main ne lautaya use ek nazm ki taknik mein

baam-o-dar ki raushni phir kyun bulati hai mujhe
main nikal aaya tha ghar se ek shab-e-tarik mein

faisle mahfuz hain aur fasle hain barqarar
gard udti hai yaqin ki wadi-e-tashkik mein

si ke phaila dun bisat-e-fan pe main daman-e-chaak
dor to guzre nazar ki sozan-e-barik mein

main ziyarat-gah-e-agahi se laut aaya hun dost
phul laya hun alam ke hadiya-e-tabrik mein

bol mere sur ko chhute chhute rah jate hain 'saz'
aah ye kaisi kasar hai dard ki tahrik mein
