saki mukh safhe par tere likhya raqim malak misra
khafi khat suun likhya nazuk tire donon palak misra
qalam le kar jali likhya jo kui bhi na saken likhne
likhya hai vo kadhin mukh tere safhe par alak misra
su likh likh kar pareshan ho qalam lat aap kahte hain
muqabil uus ke hose na likhenge gar do lak misra
bazan kar dekh mukh dhun ka davani ho bahane suun
kiye sab khush-navesan sat qalam likh naiin na sak misra
qalam mukhde suun nasik le likhe hai lab ko surkhi suun
jo kui bhi dekh kahte hain likhya hai kya khubak misra
saki ke kuch pe nazuk khat na bujhe koi kine likhya
‘qutub’ kuun puchhe tu yuun ke likhya hai mera nak misra
