Jab Qlam chalta hy to apne dil ki aawaz likhta hoon

Gham aur judai k hijr-o-saal likhta hoon

Mere aansuon ka girna bay kaar mat samajhna

Main us ki guftogo ka andaz likhta hoon

Log puchte hain mere bikhar jane ka sabab

Main isko ek buhat bara raaz likhta hoon

Rukte nahi hain meri ankhon se aansoo

Main jab bhi uski yaad mein alfaz likhta hoon

Jab bhi zikr aata hai meri Tanhai ka

‘maan’

Main ushi ko aaghaz or ushi ko anjam likhta hoon.
