shair ne kaha
nazm likhi hai main ne

poshak khayalat ki si hai main ne
ek aab nai sukhan ko di hai main ne

tarikiyon mein raushni ki hai main ne
tab nazm ne

aah-e-sard bhar ke ye kaha
main dast-e-hawas se bhi gurezan ab tak

thi surat-e-bu-e-gul pareshan ab tak
lekin ye kya ki ho gai hun main aaj

alfaz ke aawaz ke pinjre mein asir
padhne wale ke walwale ki muhtaj
