Inaha ji utho ab kooch karo is sher main ji ko lagana kiya

Inaha ji utho ab kooch karo is sher main ji ko lagana kiya
wehshi ko sakoon se kiya matlab jogi ka nagar main thikana kiya

is dil ke dariidaa-daaman ko dekho to sahii, socho to sahii
jis jholii meN sau chhed hue us jholii ko phailaanaa kyaa

shab beeti, chaaNd bhi doob gayaa, zangeer pari darvaaze main
kyuN der gaye ghar aaye ho, sajnii se karoge bahaanaa kyaa

us husn ke sachche motii ko ham dekh sakeN, par chhuu na sakeN
jise dekh sakeN par chhuu na sakeN vo daulat kyaa vo Khazaanaa kyaa

us ko bhii jalaa dukhte hue man, ik sholaa laal bhabhuukaa ban
yuN aaNsuu ban beh jaanaa kyaa, yuN maaTii meN mil jaanaa kyaa

jab sha'hr ke log na rasta dekheN, kyuN ban meN na jaa vishraam kare
diivaanoN kii sii na baat kare, to aur kare diivaanaa kyaa
