siyaahiyon ke bane harf harf dhote hain

ye log raat men kaaGaz kahaaN bhigote hain

kisii kii shah men dahaliiz par diyaa na rakho

kivaaD suukhii huii lakaDiyon ke hote hain

charaaG paanii men maujon se puuchhate honge

vo kaun log hain jo kashtiyaaN Dubote hain

qadiim qasbon men kyaa sukuun hotaa hai

thake thakaaye hamaare buzurg sote hai

chamakatii hai kahiin sadiyon men aaNsuon

kii zamiin

Gazal ke sher kahaaN roz roz hote hain
