main duniya ki haqiqat jaanta hun
kise milti hai shohrat jaanta hun
meri pahchan hai sher-o-suKHan se
main apni qadr-o-qimat jaanta hun
teri yaaden hain shab-bedariyan hain
hai aankhon ko shikayat jaanta hun
main ruswa ho gaya hun shahar-bhar mein
magar kis ki badaulat jaanta hun
ghazal phulon si dil sahraon jaisa
main ahl-e-fan ki haalat jaanta hun
taDap kar aur taDpaegi mujh ko
shab-e-gham teri fitrat jaanta hun
sahar hone ko hai aisa lage hai
main suraj ki siyasat jaanta hun
diya hai 'naqsh' jo gham zindagi ne
use main apni daulat jaanta hun
Ghazal
Main duniya ki haqiqat jaanta hun
