sakin-e-alam-e-barbaad nahin samjhenge
arsh ki baaten zamin-zad nahin samjhenge

ek muddat se qafas mein rahe panchhi khud ko
ho ke aazad bhi aazad nahin samjhenge

ye zamin hai yahan jannat nahin banne wali
baat ye asr ke shaddad nahin samjhenge

muskurane ki adakari mujhe aati hai
mujh ko ghar wale bhi nashad nahin samjhenge

'abr' de denge tujhe dad ye sunne wale
is ghazal mein hai jo fariyaad nahin samjhenge
