Kah rahi hai hashr mai'n wo ankh sharmai hui, 
haye kaise is bhari mahfil mai'n ruswai hui, 
aine mai'n her ada ko dekh ker kahte hai'n woh, 
aaj dekha chahiye kis kis ki hai aaii hui, 
kah to ae gul_chhiin asiran-e-qafas ke waste, 
torh loo'n do char kaliyaN mai bhi murjhai hui, 
mai to raz-e-dil chhupao'n per chhipa rahne bhi de, 
jaan ki dushman yeh zalim aaNkh lalachai hui, 
humza-o-naz-o-ada sab mai'n hai haya ka lagao, 
haye re bachpan ki shokhi bhi hai sharmai hui, 
vasl mai'n Khali hui raqibo'n se mahfil to kya, 
sharma bhi jaye to janoo ke tanha hoi.
