waqif nahin to us ke labon ko kanwal na likh
alfaz ko khizab laga kar ghazal na likh

momin ke sath sirf khuda hai sanam nahin
us bekasi ko uqda-e-mushkil ka hal na likh

lafzon mein kab simatta hai wo sehr-e-be-karan
sheron ko husn-e-dost ka nemul-badal na likh

insan aap apni tabahi ko kam nahin
duniya ki is tabahi ko kar-e-ajal na likh

'sahba' ke sath sath na chal saya-e-zamir
ai mere ham-nashin meri fard-e-amal na likh
