mere jaise is basti mein aur bhi pagal rahte hain
sab ne aankhen girwi rakh kar aadhe khwab kharide hain

koyal kawwa chil kabutar tota maina chidiya mor
sham dhale sab chup chup baithe ek duje ko takte hain

dariya sagar ambar baadal barish aandhi dhup hawa
sab tera bahrup hai sain tera nam hi japte hain

khali kursi do cup chae sabza khushbu bunda-bandi
subh-sawere mujh se mil kar teri baaten karte hain

hijr udasi wahshat aansu aawara-pan be-zari
shorida dil chaak gareban sab ulfat ke jhagde hain

'saghar' 'mir' 'faraaz' aur 'ghaalib' 'momin' 'dagh' 'qatil' aur 'faiz'
odh ke misre nazmen ghazlen chain sukun se sote hain

baaten yaaden raaten aankhen banhen aahen fariyaaden
sune ghar ke ek kone mein aksar mil kar rote hain

chand sitare jugnu suraj pariyan jin udte panchhi
sab dharti par aakar 'danish' us ke panw ko chhute hain
