ye teri khalq-nawazi ka taqaza bhi nahin
kahin dariya hai rawan aur kahin qatra bhi nahin

apne aaqaon ke aibon ko mahasin samjhe
itni paband-e-aqidat to reaya bhi nahin

ikhtiyaraat se haq tak hain zabani baaten
dastakhat kya kisi kaghaz pe angutha bhi nahin

koi imkan nahin hai kisi khush-fahmi ka
chaara-gar tum ho to phir zakhm ko bharna bhi nahin

ishtihaaraat lage hain meri khush-haali ke
aur thaali mein meri khushk niwala bhi nahin

ye ujala koi sazish hai ye jugnu hai fareb
subh se pahle charaghon ko bujhana bhi nahin
