*wahan koi rutbey hain adna nah aala
muradon se daman nahi koi khaali
Kitaarain lagaye kharray hain sawali
mein pehlay pehal jab madeeney gaya tha
to thi haalat dil tarap jane wali
woh darbaar sach mach mere samnay tha
abhi tak tasawwur tha jis ka khayaali
mein ik haath se dil sambhale hue tha
to thi dosray haath rozay ki jaali
dua ke liye haath uthte to kaisay
nah yeh haath khaali nah woh haath khaali
jo poocha hai tum ne, ke mein Nazar karne
ko kya le gaya tha, to tafseel sun lo
tha naton ka ik haar ashkon ke moti
daroodon ka gajra, salaamon ki daali

dhuni apni qismat ka hai to wohi hai
dyarِ nabi jis ne aankhon se dekha
muqaddar hai sacha muqaddar isi ka
ngahِ karam jis pay aaka ne daali

mein uss aastan haram ka gadda hon
jahan sir jhukate hain shahan aalam
mujhe tajdaaro se kam mat samjhna
mra sir hai shayanِ taaj blali

mein Tauseef sarkaar to kar raha hon
magar apni auqaat se bakhabar hon
mein aik adna Sana khwan hon unn ka
kahan mein kahan naat Iqbal o haali
