Be-sabab chale mere kalam jab tu lab nahi padhta
Nigah churane wale tu mera talab nahi padhta
Khali botal sa ye mann ho gaya ke hath nahi leta koi
Kambhakt ye dil bole ke tu sher-o-adab nahi padhta
Zabar zer pesh sab jan le to kya woh sab jan le
Khule khule kitaab ka koi pesh-o-aqab nahi padhta
Mere hath se jab le jaayenge dur ye kuch khali khat
Kuch chhut jaye soch-e-fikar mai main sab nahi padhta
Ae-moshin ye harf itne mujhe kese bolte hai batao zaraa
Mujhse puche woh ke main chehra kab nahi padhta
