meri nafrat bhi hai sheron mein mere pyar ke sath
main ne likkhi hai ghazal jurat-e-izhaar ke sath

eqtidar ek taraf ek taraf darweshi
donon chizen nahin rah sakti hain fankar ke sath

ek khala dil mein bahut din se makin hai ab to
yaad guzra hua mausam bhi nahin yar ke sath

baadbanon se ulajhti hai hawa roz magar
kashtiyan soi hain kis shan se patwar ke sath

shahr mein jahl ki arzani hai lekin ab tak
main hi samjhauta nahin karta hun mear ke sath

mere ashaar hain naqid ke liye kuchh bhi nahin
dard ko main nahin likhta kabhi dushwar ke sath
