parda rukh-e-fitrat se hata kar nahin dekha
manzar pe nazar thi pas-e-manzar nahin dekha

ansar ke khanjar pe muhajir ka lahu hai
tarikh ne aisa kabhi manzar nahin dekha

patthar ki siyasat se jo mahfuz raha ho
aisa kisi shishe ka muqaddar nahin dekha

thi dastaras-e-fikr mein wo saat-e-khush-rang
khushbu ka badan tha use chhu kar nahin dekha

wo shahr ke hangamon mein khamosh khadi hai
shayad shab-e-hijran ne mera ghar nahin dekha

tarshe to sanam pighle to shishe ki nazakat
ai kam-nazro tum ne wo patthar nahin dekha

jhukne nahin deti hai ana tishna-labi ko
dariya ki taraf main ne palat kar nahin dekha

hai us ko bahut quwwat-e-bazu pe bharosa
dariya ke shanawar ne samundar nahin dekha

hai gham hi se labrez to phir kaisi masarrat
kya tu ne mera zarf-e-muqaddar nahin dekha
