Poet
bahar aadhi guzar gai haae ham qaidi hain zindan ke
gae kuchh aur kuchh jaate hain din chak-e-gareban ke
hazaron khub-ru gae khaak men gardish se dauran ke
jhalakte rang men dekho muqayyash reze afshan ke
gaya to dard-e-sar par hasrat-e-zakhm-e-doyam rah gai
vagarna ham tiri shamshir ke maare hain ehsan ke
mira lohu bhi baad-az-marg qatil ke tasadduq hai
sanjaf-e-surkh mat samjhe koi gird is ke daman ke
hua hai daagh be-qadri se un ki musht-khun mera
pade koele hi kab mehndi men dast-o-pa-e-khuban ke
junun se khaak ho gae par bhi ashiq haat malte hain
bagule saare men atkal kiya ‘uzlat’ bayaban ke
