Syahi...

Mere shayraana andaaz se;

Jaane pehchaane kai jal gaye,

Bhari mehfilon mein jaan bujh ke;

Imtihaan mere alfaazon ka le gaye,

Likhna shauk tha mera;

khubi ko khata samajh gaye,

Mera kaagaz par likhna;

kadva lag gaya unhe,

Woh shabdo se;

nafraton ka nasha roz roz karte gaye,

Badsaluki se pesh aaye the;

apni hi banaayi mehfilon mein;

Meri hi likhi nazmo ko;

khud ki bata ke bech gaye ,

Aziz se aziz dost tha meri barbaadiyon mein; shamil,

Woh dushman se bhi jyada dushmani mujhse karte gaye,

Paas mere ek hi daulat thi; mere alfaaz-e- kalam ki; Mere syahi ki,

Mere hi kalam ki syahi se; mera hi katl-e-aam woh likhte gaye….
