na maqamat na tartib-e-zamani apni
ittifaqat pe mabni hai kahani apni
jism si jaati hai tah-e-harf kisi karb ki mauj
tham ke rah jaati hai lafzon ki ravani apni
phail jaati thi samaat ki zaminon men nami
thi kabhi tar-sukhani ab-rasani apni
laakh tum mujh ko dabao main ubhar aunga
sat.h hamvar kiye rahta hai paani apni
majra ruuh ki vahshat ka niji hai ai ‘saz’
aage rudad nahin ham ko sunani apni
