ko’ii to phuul khilaaye du’aa ke lahje meN
ajab tarah kii Ghutan hai havaa ke lahje meN
ye vaqt kis kii rauunat pe Khaak Daal gayaa
ye kaun bol rahaa thaa Khudaa ke lahje meN
(rauunat : self-importance)
Khulaa fareb-e-muhabbat dikhaa’ii detaa hai
ajab kamaal hai us be-vafaa ke lahje meN
yahii hai maslehat-e-Khabar-e-ihtiyaat to phir
ham apnaa haal kaheNge chhupaa ke lahje meN
(maslehat : expediency; ihtiyaat : care)
