tere dayar se jins-e-muhaal le aae
jawab lane gae aur sawal le aae

bahut se log koi tujh sa dhundne nikle
majal kis ki jo teri misal le aae

shikari dekhta hi rah gaya ba-hairani
parinde mil ke ude aur jal le aae

visal hijr siyasat masail-e-duniya
ghazal mein hum bhi ye kya kya khayal le aae

sitam-zarifi hai mushkil pasand logon ki
darakht kat na pae to chhaal le aae

rula rula diya yaron ne aaj phir 'aqib'
gham-e-firaq mein zikr-e-visal le aae
