Poet
qafas se chhutne ki kab havas hai
tasavvur bhi chaman ka ham ko bas hai
bajae rakhna-e-divar-e-gulshan
hamen sayyad ab chak-e-qafas hai
fughan karta hi rahta hai ye din raat
ilahi dil hai mera ya jaras hai
katenge umr ke din kab ke be-yar
mujhe ik ik ghadi sau sau baras hai
hamari daad ke taiin kaun pahunche
na kui munis na kui fariyad-ras hai
gali men yaar ki ho jaiye khaak
mire dil men ye muddat se havas hai
safar duniya se karna kya hai ‘taban’
adam hasti se rah-e-yak-nafas hai
