jo toofaanon men palte ja rahe hain vahii duniya badalte ja rahe hain

aaj dekha hai tujh ko der ke ba'd aaj ka din guzar na jaa.e kahii

hain aur bhi duniya men suKHan-var bahut achchhe kahte hain ki ghalib ka hai andaaz-e-bayaan aur

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

koii kaanta koii patthar nahin hai to phir tu seedhe raste par nahin hai main is duniya ke andar rah raha hooñ magar duniya mere andar nahin hai

koocha-e-ishq men nikal aaya jis ko khaana-kharaab hona tha

yahii hai zindagi to zindagi se KHud-kushi achchhii ki insaan aalam-e-insaaniyat par baar ho jaa.e

tire jamaal ki tasveer kheench doon lekin zabaan men aankh nahin aankh men zabaan nahin

jo un pe guzarti hai kis ne use jaana hai apni hi museebat hai apna hi fasana hai

sadaqat ho to dil seenon se khinchne lagte hain waiz haqeeqat KHud ko manvaa letii hai maani nahin jaati
