raqs-e-zamin ko gardish-e-aflak chahiye
naqsh-e-qadam ko farsh-e-KHas-o-KHak chahiye
miTTi to dast-e-kuza-garan mein hai der se
bartan mein Dhaalne ke liye chaak chahiye
hum aise sada-lauh se kya mangti hai zist
is ko harif bhi koi chaalak chahiye
kam-fursati ka un ki mujhe bhi lihaz hai
ahwal-e-dil ko dida-e-namnak chahiye
Thahre hue hain ashk hawaon ki aankh mein
mausam ko ab ke wahshat-e-bebak chahiye
Ghazal
Raqs-e-zamin ko gardish-e-aflak chahiye
