Zindagi ko zakhm ki lazzat se mat mahroom kar,
raaste ke pattharon se khairiyat maloom kar.
Toot kar bikhri hui talwaar ke tukde samett,
aur apne haar jaane ka sabab maloom kar.
Jaagti aankhon ke khwaabon ko ghazal ka naam de,
raat bhar ki karwaton ka zaaiqa manzoom kar.
Shaam tak laut aaunga haathon ka khaali-pan liye,
aaj phir nikla hun main ghar se hatheli choom kar.
Mat sikha lahje ko apni barchhiyon ke paintare,
zinda rehna hai toh lahje ko zara masoom kar. !!
