zauq rakhta hai fikrmand tujhe
ho ke rahna hai sar-buland tujhe

shaeri ka sarab tai karna
kaun manega hosh-mand tujhe

ye tera rakh-rakhao ye bikhran
log karne lage pasand tujhe

phir koi ishq hai wabaal-e-jaan
le udi husn ki kamand tujhe

gar ghazal hi nahin 'tapish' phir kya
ho gaya kya ye aql-mand tujhe
