zinda haqiqaton ko chhupaya na jaega
har waqia fasana banaya na jaega

ai daur-e-inqilab ki aamad ke muntazir
sochon se inqilab to laya na jaega

ilzam-e-bewafai diya jaega magar
tafriq-e-khar-o-gul ko mitaya na jaega

lutf-e-gham-e-hayat agar mit gaya to kya
naqsh-e-gham-e-hayat mitaya na jaega

sasti ghazal suna ke kisi bazm mein 'waqar'
apna waqar-e-sher giraya na jaega
