pahlu mein baith kar wo pate kya
dil to tha hi nahin churaate kya

hijr mein gham bhi ek neamat hai
ye na hota to aaj khate kya

murgh-e-dil hi ka kuchh raha mazkura
aur be-par ki wan udate kya

rah ki chhed-chhad khub nahin
wo bigadta to hum banate kya

sadma hasil hua alam lae
aur kuche se us ke late kya

shaikh-ji kahte hain ghina ko haram
un se puchho to hain ye gate kya

laghar hi se kafan mein tha bhi main
meri mayyat ko wo uthate kya

khak us kuche ki na la rakhte
to 'sakhi' qabr mein bichhate kya
