Tilok Chand Mahroom
kavishon se amaan mile na mile
phir tira astan mile na mile
ab qafas hi ko ashiyan kahiye
rahat-e-ashiyan mile na mile
dil se rahte hain mashvare din raat
ham-suḳhan ham-zaban mile na mile
mahv-e-fariyad ham hain aaj ki phir
fursat-e-yak-fughan mile na mile
alam-e-ah sar-buland hai aaj
kal hamara nishan mile na mile
tu to betab hai magar ai dil
ho ke vo mehrban mile na mile
ye ghazal ‘josh’ ko suna ‘mahrum’
phir koi nukta-dan mile na mile
