yagangi mein bhi dukh ghairiyat ke sahta hun
chaman mein sabza-e-begana ban ke rahta hun

teri nigah-e-mohabbat ka aasra pa kar
fasana-e-sitam-e-rozgar kahta hun

azim dhaaron ka rukh pherne ka azm liye
haqir maujon pe tinke ki tarah bahta hun

hai apne zarf ka maqsud imtihan shayad
tere qarib pahunch kar bhi dur rahta hun

khud apne se bhi chhupaya hai muddaton jis ko
qarib aao ki tum se wo baat kahta hun

tumhaare bas mein nahin mere zakhm ka marham
main zindagi ke haqaeq ki chot sahta hun

faraaz-e-dar bhi 'hurmat' hai ek manzil auj
koi maqam ho main sar-buland rahta hun
