Khuda ka shukr mujhe besh-az-gumaan mila

Tumhare reshmi aaNchal ka saayabaan mila

Na jaane mujh meN samaayi thiN hijrateN kitni

Tere wajood se mujh ko mera makaan mila

Khuda ne humpe hadeN kitni baNdh rakkhi haiN

Hisaar e jism se nikle to aasmaan mila !!

Hum uske jabr ka qissaa sunaate kis kis ko

YahaaN to jo bhi milaa, uska hamzaban mila

HikayateN thiN meri raaviyoN ke narGhe meN

Phir uske baad jahaaN mujh se bad gumaan mila

Suna hai shahr ki buniyaad us ne daali thi

Jo shakhs kal meri basti me be amaan mila

Ye shayeri mujhe maqdur bhar mili hi nahiN

Magar abhi bhi koi le to mujh se taan mila
