wo jis ke nam mein lazzat bahut hai
usi ke zikr se barakat bahut hai

zara mahfuz raston se guzarna
tumhaari shahr mein shohrat bahut hai

abhi suraj ne lab khole nahin hain
abhi se dhup mein shiddat bahut hai

mujhe sone ki qimat mat batao
main mitti hun meri azmat bahut hai

kisi ki yaad mein khoe rahenge
gunah-garon ko ye jannat bahut hai

jinhen masruf rahne ka maraz tha
unhen bhi aaj-kal fursat bahut hai

jahan par khushbuen thin zindagi ki
usi mahfil mein ab ghibat bahut hai

kabhi to husn ka sadqa nikalo
tumhaare pas ye daulat bahut hai

ghazal khud kah ke padhna chahte ho
miyan is kaam mein mehnat bahut hai

hawa to tham chuki lekin diyon ke
rawayyon mein abhi dahshat bahut hai
