nahin kahte kisi se haal-e-dil khamosh rahte hain
ki apni dastan mein tere afsane bhi aate hain

wo jin par fakhr hai farzangi ko nukta-dani ko
teri mahfil mein aise chand diwane bhi aate hain

adab karta hun masjid ka wahan har roz jata hun
ki us ki rah mein do-chaar maikhane bhi aate hain

hamare mai-kade mein mai bhi hai iman ki baaten bhi
yahin to ek sahab waz farmane bhi aate hain

na ghabra chahne walon se ye to ain-e-fitrat hai
ki shama nur-afshan ho to parwane bhi aate hain
