saf auraq hain likhne ki jagah khali hai
yani us mang mein tare ki jagah khali hai

nahr ke par gaya yar nahin palta kabhi
car mein ab bhi kamine ki jagah khali hai

koi khush-rang dilasa hai to likhte jao
meri diwar pe nare ki jagah khali hai

aaj bhi khat pe bosida badan dekhta hun
bap ke baad bhi kone ki jagah khali hai

chaak par rakkhi hui duniya mukammal kar do
aakhiri jism pe chehre ki jagah khali hai

meri ghazlen hain sabhi baad tere be-matla
sare naghmat mein mukhde ki jagah khali hai

mazarat yar naya ishq nahin ho sakta
dil mayassar hai na sine ki jagah khali hai
