rishton ka apna-pan jhut
aashaon ka sawan jhut

dil hi aasuda jo nahin
phul bhara har aangan jhut

us ka man jab kala hai
chehre ka ujla-pan jhut

us ka chehra chand nahin
bole dil ka darpan jhut

dharti ki azmat jo na ho
mitti ka saundha-pan jhut

jiddat-e-nudrat jaan-e-ghazal
lafzon ka tikha-pan jhut

jis mein khushiyan janm na len
'mehdi' wo ghar aangan jhut
