**Janey kiyun wo bheer mein tanha lagta hai
Jaise dasht may koi ghulab tanha khilta hai
Uski ghazlon ka unwaan hamesha firaaq hota hai
Phir bhi wo hurf vasl bar-haa likhta hai
Taqseem jab bhi hoti hai zaat meri tukroon may
Wo bhaut inhimak se bhikharne ki sada sunta hai
Jab bhi kisi dewane per waar kartey hain ahl-e-shehar….
Sub teer wo apney seenay pe tanha sehta hai
Ab bhi wo sahil pe khada lehroon ko hasrat se taka karta hai
Janey kiyun wo samandar ko piyaasa likhta hai…..**
