sulagna andar andar misra-e-tar sochte rahna
badan par dal kar zakhmon ki chadar sochte rahna

nahin kam jaan-gusil ye marhala bhi khud-shanasi ka
ki apne hi maani lafz ban kar sochte rahna

zaban se kuchh na kahna bawajud-e-tab-e-goyai
khuli aankhon se bas manzar ba manzar sochte rahna

kisi lamhe to khud se la-talluq bhi raho logo
masail kam nahin phir zindagi bhar sochte rahna

charagh-e-zindagi hai ya bisat-e-atish-e-rafta
jala kar raushni dahliz-e-jaan par sochte rahna

ajab shai hai 'faza' zehn o nazar ki ye asiri bhi
musalsal dekhte rahna barabar sochte rahna
