Buland fikr ki har sher se ayan ho ramaq

buland fikr ki har sher se ayan ho ramaq
mere qalam se ada ho kabhi ghazal ka haq

udas udas hain insan har ek chehra faq
ye shahr shahr hai ya dasht hai ye laq-o-daq

main dil ki baat kahun yun ki dil talak pahunche
na hon kinae hi mubham na istiare adaq

chalo sameT ke office ko apne ghar ki taraf
ufuq ke par wo dekho utar rahi hai shafaq

zara sa ilm-o-hunar pa gae to kuchh kam-zarf
samajh rahe hain sabhi ko hi ahqar-o-ahmaq

phir ehtijaj ke raste pe kyun chalenge hum
hamein jo milta rahe aap se hamara haq

talluqat mein qaem rakhen bharose ko
ki shak hamesha hi karta raha hai rishte shaq

kisi kitab mein milta nahin hai zikr 'azam'
hamein sikhae hain is zindagi ne aise sabaq
