Aey kaash ke mein bhi aik shaair hota
Apnay lafzon ko sajanay ka saleeqa hota
Mujhay bhi aata apna dard dikhaana
Apnay lafzon ki qeemat banana
Nahin mera andaz e bayan purr assar
Kaisay dikhaoon cheer ke apna jiggar
Tareeki hi tareeki meri aankhon mein
Mayoosi hi mayoosi meri baaton mein
Pareshan hoon guzray hoooway kal se mein
Khofzada hoon aatay hooway kal se mein
Yehi zindagi ki ronaq hai baaqi
Mill jaey koi sacha be-gharz saathi
Jaan le meray dill ka dard kiya hai
Phir mujhay lafzon ki zaroorat kiya hai …
