lamha lamha bit chuka hai ab jo tum pachhtao to kya
bhuli-bisri yaaden sab ke aage bhi doharao to kya

kaun paraya dard samete kaun kisi ka yar bane
apna zakhm hai apna pyare logon ko dikhlao to kya

pahle to tum aag laga kar sab kuchh jalta chhod gae
diwaren tarik hui hain ab is ghar mein aao to kya

us ka chehra us ki aankhen us ke lab wo baat kahan
rang-birangi akhbaron ki taswiren dikhlao to kya

main ek aisa ped hun jis par baith ke sab ud jate hain
tum bhi meri shakh pe aa kar baitho aur ud jao to kya

soch ki dhup to kya kam hogi soch ki kirnen aam huin
raat ke sae mere sar ke suraj par phailao to kya

tod ke pairon ki zanjiren maidanon ka azm karo
apne garebanon ke parcham kamron mein lahrao to kya

apne badan ko surat aisi nazr-e-salib-e-zulm karo
sone ki masum saliben sinon par latkao to kya

kya kya sher kiye hain tum ne naqsh ghazal ki surat mein
hum tum ko 'naqqash' kahenge tum shair kahlao to kya
