rutba-e-takht se mahrum hai mansab mera
sahab-e-fahm samajhte nahin matlab mera

hai mere sher se ahwal-e-zamana zahir
padh lo tum bhi ki ye shisha hai mahaddab mera

meri basti ko ujale mein dikha kar mujh ko
qatl karta hai koi khwab mein har shab mera

tarjuman hain mere mahaul ki ghazlen meri
ye alag baat ki lahja hai mohazzab mera

shahr-e-qazi tere fatwon se gharaz kya mujh ko
rab mera dil mera marzi meri mazhab mera

khushbu-e-sher se mahzuz hua kar 'rahat'
gham ke bimar ye nuskha hai mujarrab mera
