Chaar tinke jala ke kya mil gaya Mit sakana zamane se mera nishaan, Mujhpe bijli girao to jaanu sahi Aashiaan par girane se kya faaida Bhoolne waale se koyi keh de zara is tarah yaad aane se kya faaida, Jab mere dil ki duniya basaati nahin phir khayaalon mein aane se kya faaida
Likhu kuch aaj yeh waqt ka takaza hai; dil me dard abhi taza-taza hai; gir padte hai aansu mere kagaz par, lagta hai kalam me syahi kam aur ishq zyada hai..
