Qatal chuptay thay kabi
 

Qatal chuptay thay kabi sang ki deewar k bech
Ab to khulny lagy maqtal bhary bazar k beech

Apni poshak k chin jany pe afsoos na kar
Sar salamat nae rehty yahan dastar k bech

Surkhian aman ki talqeen mein masroof rahen
Haroof barod ugalty rahy akhbar k bech

Kash iss khuwab ki tabeer ki mohlat na mily
Sholy ugtay nazar aay mujhy gulzar k bech

dhalty soraj ki tamazat nay bikhar kar dekha
sar kasheeda mira saya saf-e-ashjar k bech

Rizq, malbos, makaN, sans, marz, qarz, dawa
Munqisem ho gya insaN inhe afkar k bech

Dekhy jaty na thy aanso mry jis say Mohsin
Aj hansty howy dekha usay aghyar k bech

Kabi tu moheet-e-hawaas tha, so nahe raha
mein tery bagher udaas tha, so nahe raha

meri wusaton ki hawas ka khana kharab ho
mera gaon shehr k pas tha, so nahe raha

teri dastaras mein then bakh’sheshen, so nahe rahen
mry lab pe harf-e-spaas tha, so nahe raha

mra aks mujh say ulajh para to gira khuli
kabi mein b chehra shanas tha, so nahe raha

mry bad noha ba lab hawayen kaha karen
woh jo ik dareeda libaas tha, so nahe raha

mein shikasta dil hun saf-e-addo ki shikast per
woh jo latf-e-khof-o-hiraas tha, so nahe raha
