pahle kya kam thi musibat mere ghar mein ki ab
ho gae hain mere sartaj ghazal-go shair

hasb-e-dastur pade rahte hain sochon mein gum
na wo mere liye ghar mein hain na ghar se bahar

pahle bhi kaam na karte the wo ghar ka koi
ab to kuchh aur bhi susti mein hue hain mahir

zinda hotin meri amman to main un se kahti
is se to achchha tha rakh letin wo koi naukar

aamad hoti hai to ye hukm diya jata hai
koi kuchh bola to ho jaega ghar se bahar

ek aafat mein meri jaan phansi hai ya-rab
bhej de mere liye ab to koi chaaragar

koi to ho jo kahe ai miyan 'hammad' 'hasan'
jao biwi ko ghuma lao kabhi chidiya-ghar
