pareshani mein izhaar-e-pareshani se kya hasil
bhare bazar mein khud apni arzani se kya hasil

mujhe har manzil-e-masti se hans hans kar guzarna hai
mita de jo meri himmat us aasani se kya hasil

baghair-e-jabr-o-quwwat jhuk nahin sakta jo ek sar bhi
to phir aisi jahangiri jahanbani se kya hasil

hujum-e-barq-o-baran ho nuzul-e-qahr-o-tufan ho
faza-e-afiyat mein baal-jumbani se kya hasil

dil-e-barbaad se paida naya dil ho nahin sakta
ab aansu ponchhiye bhi ab pashemani se kya hasil

taraste hain dar-o-diwar bhi ab un ke jalwon ko
mujhe ai khana-e-dil teri virani se kya hasil

qafas ho ya nasheman koi ham-ahang ho warna
'adib' aisi fughan aisi ghazal-khwani se kya hasil
