main dushmani hun mohabbat hun ajnabi hun main
yahi subut hain mere ki aadmi hun main

bujha sakega na mujh ko tamam aab-e-jahan
miyan-e-dasht bahattar ki tishnagi hun main

mera khayal meri soch hai kitab meri
khuda-e-fikr ka bheja hua nabi hun main

nigah ki na khilaf-e-shariat-e-adabi
kisi ke husn-e-ghazal par ki muttaqi hun main

mere khayal se raushan hai koh-e-tur-e-adab
uden na hosh to dekho wo raushni hun main

mujhi se bolna sikha hai gunge harfon ne
main ruh-e-nutq hun lafzon ki zindagi hun main

luta raha hai mazamin-e-nau ke jo ambar
zamana kahta hai 'kazim' wahi sakhi hun main
