sukun-e-qalb mayassar kise jahan mein hai
teri zamin mein kahan wo jo aasman mein hai

maza hayat ka us shakhs se kabhi puchho
jo tez dhup ki chadar ke saeban mein hai

palak se tut ke jab ashk khak mein mil jae
samajh lo tab ye gharib-ul-watan aman mein hai

mujhe bhi gunga banaenge ek din ye log
mahal ka aib jo poshida is zaban mein hai

wafa khulus mohabbat bhi bik rahe hain miyan
har ek chiz mayassar meri dukan mein hai

usi ki zat se is ghar ki bach gai izzat
jo khote sikke ki manind khandan mein hai

bitha diye hain kisi ne hawaon par pahre
tabhi to itni ghutan jism ke makan mein hai

bichhadte waqt jo tum ne kaha tha mujh se kabhi
wo jumla aaj bhi mahfuz mere kan mein hai
