titliyan nind ki pahle to udai jaen
phir hamein khwabon ki tabiren batai jaen

hauslon ki liye patwar lade maujon se
kashtiyan aisi samundar mein chalai jaen

dard ne dil pe mere phir se lagai dastak
us ki rahen sabhi phulon se sajai jaen

likh gae mir-taqi-'mir' sukhnawar 'ghaalib'
git ghazlen wo zamane ko sunai jaen

kar de ruswa jo hamein sab ki nazar mein 'jyoti'
baaten kahti hun wo khud se bhi chhupai jaen
