shikasta-par junun ko aazmaenge nahin kya
udanon ke liye par phadphadaenge nahin kya

hawaen mehrban thin muntaqim kyun ho gai hain
nigah-waran-e-sahil kuchh bataenge nahin kya

koi hansta hua suraj pas-e-diwar-e-tarik
firozan ho to diwaren giraenge nahin kya

wahi pahli si arzani sar-e-bazar-e-pindar
nazar aae to hum qimat badhaenge nahin kya

sawad-e-tishnagi ke par ek mawwaj dariya
ghazal-khwan ho to phir teshe uthaenge nahin kya

badalte mausamon ki dhul hote raston ko
thake-haare musafir yaad aaenge nahin kya
