samne mere hai duniya jyun samundar ret ka
aur sab ki zindagi jaise bawanDar ret ka
ret ki diwar ke sae mein baiTha aadmi
aur sae par bharosa dil ke andar ret ka
ret ke mahlon mein rahte karobari ret ke
jit kar duniya rahega har sikandar ret ka
niw jati hai khisakti kya karega rab yahan
din-o-mazhab ret ke hain aur mandar ret ka
kahne wala ek 'alam' ret ke naghme kahe
sunne wala ye zamana jaise manzar ret ka
Ghazal
Samne mere hai duniya jyun samundar ret ka
