waqar apne buzurgon ka zara bhi kam nahin karte
kabhi hum zalimon ke samne sar kham nahin karte

tawazo ke liye kanton ki in ko pal rakha hai
safar mein hum musafir aablon ka gham nahin karte

hum ahl-e-zarf khushiyon mein bhi qabu khud pe rakhte hain
dukhi ho kar bhi dukh se aastinen nam nahin karte

hamare lafz zakhmon ke liye bante to hain marham
magar phir bhi masihai ka dawa hum nahin karte

nazar rakhte hain mustaqbil ki jaanib hum nazar wale
kabhi guzre zamanon ke liye matam nahin karte

falak walon ki jaanib un ki sari mehrbani hai
gharibon par tawajjoh qibla-e-alam nahin karte

kitabon se bhare baston ne kuchh aisa dabaya hai
'niyaz' is daur ke bachche bahut udham nahin karte
