wallah in shahidon ka mear dekh kar
hai marg-e-shauq aur siwa dar dekh kar

un par bhi khul saka na ufuq ka tilismi raaz
hairan-kun karishma-e-fankar dekh kar

shoridgi-e-abla-pai ke bawajud
jazbe na kam hue rah-e-pur-khar dekh kar

is majra-e-lutf pe pahron sukut-e-shab
hairan tha khud ko apna hi gham-khwar dekh kar

daman chhuda na pae dam-e-sair apna hum
kanton ki anjuman ka bhi israr dekh kar

patthar tarashne ka hunar jaanta tha main
par chup tha but-parast kharidar dekh kar

'hassan' sikho aur zara shairi ka fan
'ghaalib' 'jigar' 'firaq' ke ashaar dekh kar
