sarasar un ko gulistan-e-arzu kahiye
ruken to rang samjhiye chalen to bu kahiye

hamari tishnagi-e-shauq ki hai baat kuchh aur
ye wo nahin jise dauran-e-guftugu kahiye

mujhe shikast ka ilzam bhi qubul magar
muqabil aaiye barbaad-e-justuju kahiye

sawal-e-shauq ka aksar jawab banti hai
teri nazar ki khamoshi ko guftugu kahiye

hamari tishna-labi ko na kar saki sairab
wo guftugu ki rawani ki aab-ju kahiye

har inqalab ki lahar apne mai-kade mein hai
kise sharab samajhiye kise lahu kahiye

chaman-badosh hai har wadi-e-nazar 'nazish'
meri hayat ko kashmir-e-arzu kahiye
