sisak rahe hain kai na-tawan se bahar
qadam nikal kisi din makan se bahar

kalam-e-yar ki tarif kis zaban se ho
hai khush-bayani-e-jaanan bayan se bahar

na hone mein hi hai lutf-e-dahan raho khamosh
samajh ke baat nikalo zaban se bahar

hamare sath hai paimana-e-dil ai khammar
nikal shisha-o-saghar dukan se bahar

karega charkh meri gor se bhi kaj-bazi
koi zamin nahin aasman se bahar

tumhaare ghar se agar nam lun nikalne ka
nikal do mujhe sare jahan se bahar

barae-jalwa kasif-o-latif yaksan hain
na aap jism se bahar na jaan se bahar

kiya mujhe samar-e-nakhl-e-ah ne mamnun
wo barha nikal aae makan se bahar

wo sher kya ki maani hon batn-e-shair mein
ghalat ye hai rahe maghz ustukhwan se bahar

asar talammuz-e-'nasikh' ka kyon na ho ai 'rashk'
tamam tarz-e-sukhan hai bayan se bahar
