ne aadmi pasand na is ko khuda pasand
hai aaine mein qaid mera aaina-pasand

do-chaar din bhi hum se nibahi nahin gai
wo mo'tadil mizaj tha main intiha pasand

wo khud-fareb shakhs tha patthar-shanas tha
aaya na us ko koi bhi apne siwa pasand

puchhe hai hum ne kahe kiya kufr ikhtiyar
ghaflat pasand hai na hamein aasra pasand

ghaugha-e-marg chaaron taraf phailne laga
kya is jahan ko chhod gae baadiya-pasand

us par hi bhejta hai wo aafat bhi maut bhi
shayad use gharib ka bachcha hai na-pasand

aakash ek shakhs hai duniya se mukhtalif
pahli nazar mein hi tumhein aa jaega pasand
