na yun bhi jhankiye sarkar ek samundar hai
ki meri aankhon ke us par ek samundar hai

hamari tishna-dahani bujhi hai khanjar se
wo aur hain jinhen darkar ek samundar hai

safina-ha-e-mohabbat ko gharq kar degi
ye jo hai bich mein diwar ek samundar hai

tum aao laut ke tum ko gale laga lunga
ki mera dil bhi mere yar ek samundar hai

nizam-e-shahar-e-bahaaran hai kis ke hathon mein
jahan bhi dekhiye khun-bar ek samundar hai

ghazal sunai jo sarwat ko main ne ai 'hashim'
wo bole sun ke sukhan-kar ek samundar hai
