Poet
din raat kis ki yaad thi kaisa malal tha
sadqe men kuchh to bol tu kya tujh pe haal tha
chhuTa tira mariz agar mar gaya ki shoḳh
jo dam tha zindagi ka so us par vabal tha
naḳhun tire ki mehndi se tanha nahin hain daagh
chande shafaq se na.al-dar-atish hilal tha
is soch se khuli hai haqiqat ki ek umr
makkhi ki farj o shaiḳh ki daḌhi ka baal tha
jhagḌa mira kiya hi na tiin saaf varna shoḳh
zarra zaban pe tegh ki ye infisal tha
‘qa.em’ main reḳhta ko diya ḳhil.at-e-qubul
varna ye pesh-e-ahl-e-hunar kya kamal tha
