Woh kaun  sa gul hai jo tah khak nahin,
Laikin mujhe  us bat ka adtrak nahin hai,

Sadiyon se mere shahr ki tahzeeb hai uryan,
Achcha  hai mere jism pe paushak nahin hai,

Halaat ki bahti huyee pur shore nadi mein,
Jo doob ke mer jay woh pairak nahi hai,

Paushak badalne se badalti nahin teenat,
Jab mann hi nahin pak tp kuchh  baat nahin hai,

Is daur-e-khraban mein tya gerdishe dauran,
Woh kaun  sa bachcha hai jo chalak nahin hai,

Pi laita hai hunste huai phoolon ka laho bhi,
Tum waqt ko kahte ho ki saffak nahi hai,

Ai shauq  kahon khud ko main kis terah  un ka,
Vahshat mein gariban bhi mera chak nahin hai.
