ab na wo ahbab zinda hain na rasm-ul-KHat wahan

ek bosa honT par phaila tabassum ban gaya

meri aawaz ko aawaz ne taqsim kiya

ek manzar bhi na dekha gaya mujhse kawish

lafz ki buhtat itni naqd o fan mein aa gai

shairi mein anfus-o-afaq mubham hain abhi

sukh ki zamin basit nahin hai to kya hua

jawab dene ki mohlat na mil saki hum ko

az-sar-e-nau fikr ka aaghaz karna chahiye

sans lene bhi na paya tha ki manzar gum hua

mahaul sab ka ek hai aanhken wahi nazren wahi
