maine teri basti ke ye dekhe hain nazare

main ne teri basti ke ye dekhe hain nazare
mahuwe ke darakhton se tapakte hain sitare
rahne de isi tarh falak ke ye nazare
daman pe chhitak yun ki bikhar jaen sitare


maujon ki rawani mein tujhe dekh raha hun
baitha hun badi der se dariya ke kinare
badh jaegi do chaar baras aur meri 'umr
do chaar ghadi tu jo mere sath guzare


tum kaise sapere ho na mantar hai na tiryaq
jholi mein liye phirte ho sanpon ke pitare
hum tod chuke hain jise be-kar samajh kar
diwar khadi thi unhin inton ke sahaare


itna to batana ki namazi bhi koi hai
unche hain tere ganw ki masjid ke manare
allah bhi razzaq hai banda bhi sakhi hai
mar jate hain 'irfan' bahut bhuk ke mare
