wo shakh mazbut ho ya nazuk
ye munhasir hai kamal-e-fan par

ki kaise tinkon ko jodna hai
mahin reshon ke tane-bane

se kaise diwar jodni hai
kahan banana hai dar kahan par

jagah dariche ki chhodni hai
jahan se baad-e-saba to aae

darun-e-khana chale jo aandhi
girane pae na aashiyana

khulus-o-uns-o-wafa ki rui
yaqin-o-isar ke anasir

jo honge tamir mein ye shamil
to shakh-e-nazuk pe banne wala bhi

aashiyan paedar hoga
