meri mitti ka nasab be-sar-o-samani se
kaam kuchh us ko hawa se na talab pani se

mere atraf nigahon ki ye diwar na khinch
aur aawara hua jata hun nigarani se

apne aaine se tod aa ke mera aaina
apne aaine ko bhar kar meri hairani se

hum jo ek umr laga dete hain pas aane mein
kaise lamhon mein bichhad jate hain aasani se

hai yahi waqt ki patthar se khuda paida ho
dekh ab nur tapakne laga peshani se

ishq ko hai yahi ek surat-e-izhaar nasib
jo bhi kahna hai kahe chaak-garebani se

shahr ho jata hai pahle to junun-e-nakaam
todta hai phir ise sang-e-bayabani se

'farhat-ehsas' usi jahl se kar phir se rujua
tere haq mein yahi behtar hai hama-dani se
