Poet
ik baat par bigde gae na jo umr-bhar mile
us se tariq sulh ke kya sulh-gar mile
baham suluk tha pa tire daur-husn men
ye rasm uth gai ki bashar se bashar mile
dil mahv-e-chashm-e-yar tha bimar ho gaya
kuchh un parstishon ka bhi akhir samar mile
ai naala tu ne saath diya aah ka to kya
ummid kya asar ki jo du be-asar mile
sadma jigar pe pahunche to ho dil men kyuun na dard
kya farq kuchh juda nahin hain dil jigar mile
ham ko hamare tal-e-bad ne dubo diya
achchhe the gar nasib to kyuun chashm-e-tar mile
dhoun sad-ab-e-tegh se ai pamba jo kabhu
daman se tere daman dagh-e-jigar mile
ummid-e-bu men us ki mile yuun saba se ham
jis tarah be-khabar se koi be-khabar mile
jo kuchh na dekhna tha so vo dekhna pada
us bevafa se pahle the kya dekh kar mile
dekhe hunar jo apne hi vo jaane us ka kaam
ham ko to aib dekh ke apne hunar mile
mehr-e-jahan-faroz dikha duun jabin ko main
gar sang-e-astana-e-khairul-bashar mile
milne se us ki ghatti hai kya teri shan-e-husn
‘azurda’ khasta-jan bhi mile tu agar mile
