kidhar abru ki us ke dhak nahi.n

kaun is tegh ka halak nahi.n

misl-e-aina aabru hai to dekh

warna ghar mei.n to apne khak nahi.n

de hai ham-chashmi us se phir khurshid

kya bhala us ke munh pe nak nahi.n

chahe.n tauba ki chhanw hum zahid

kya kahe.n dar-bast-e-tak nahi.n

khabar-e-ghaib khatra-e-dil hai

warna ta-arsh apni Dak nahi.n

jis musalle pe chhiDkiye na sharab

apne aai.n mei.n wo pak nahi.n

yu.n to taib hai.n mai se hum bhi pa shaikh

gar pilawe koi to bak nahi.n

ya.n wo malbuus khas nain ju.n gul

jo qaba das jagah se chaak nahi.n

'qayem' us kuche mei.n phire hai magar

abhi kuchh baat Thik-Thak nahi.n
