ujlaton mein us ne hum se kah diya be-fikr hun
par hamari chah mein sham-o-sahar rote rahe

ashk meri khairiyat lene ki khatir dam-ba-dam
apna sahil chhod kar rukhsar par bahte rahe

kya abhi bhi ishq ke qabil nahin samjhe gae
jitne gham tu ne diye hans hans ke hum sahte rahe

phul tu bhi chhod de khushbu udana bagh mein
khar tere waste zakhmi mujhe karte rahe

be-hisi tujh se mujhe shikwa hamesha se raha
ghair ke tukdon pe kyun ahl-e-qalam palte rahe

dhundh pata hi nahin mujh ko magar us ke liye
khush-nasibi thi zamin par naqsh-e-pa chhapte rahe

ai mohabbat imtihan lena hamara chhod de
fail hote hum gae tujh ko bura kahte rahe

man agar ghar mein rahe ghar bhi mera jannat lage
phir sukun utna mila jaise yahin rahte rahe

wasta main is hukumat se bhala kaise rakhun
khud-kushi kar li kisanon ne jawan marte rahe

bij hum ne bo diya banjar zamin dekha nahin
phir hukumat se gila shikwe sabhi karte rahe

qatl us ne kar diya mujh ko magar achchha hua
khun ke qatre usi ke hath se lipte rahe

chashni urdu adab ki kam nahin hogi kabhi
hum buzurgon ke qalam ko tham kar likhte rahe
