muntashir har shai qarine se saja di jaegi
ya mere kamre ki shakhsiyyat mita di jaegi

sath rakhiye kaam aaega bahut nam-e-khuda
khauf gar jaga to phir kis ko sada di jaegi

aag bhadkegi hawa pa kar bada sach ye nahin
sach bada ye hai ki shoalon ko hawa di jaegi

be-thikana yun kiya jaega ek jalta charagh
taqche mein mom ki gudiya bitha di jaegi

aaina haalat ka aaega jo bhi dekhne
koi umda si ghazal us ko suna di jaegi

bolne par koi pabandi nahin kuchh boliye
han magar aawaz utthegi daba di jaegi

sar-ba-kaf ho jaenge pir-o-jawan sab dekhna
desh ki khatir mata-e-jaan luta di jaegi

ghair-mumkin kuchh nahin duniya mein lekin 'ehtiram'
aap ki sohbat bhala kaise bhula di jaegi
