qalam ki nok pe rakkhunga is jahan ko main
zamin lapet ke rakh dun ki aasman ko main

aziz jaan ho jise mujh se wo gurez kare
ki aaj aaya hua hun khud apni jaan ko main

hai mauj mauj mukhalif mere safine ki
aur us pe kholne wala hun baadban ko main

fareb-e-zat se bahar nikal ke dekh mujhe
bata raha hun zamane ki aan-ban ko main

hamesha lafz ki hurmat ka pas rakkha hai
bada aziz hun lafzon ke khandan ko main

agar main chahun to 'mumtaz' aasman mein udun
guman yaqin ko de dun yaqin guman ko main
