kis tarah ret ke samundar mein
kashti-e-zist hai rawan socho
sun ke baad-e-saba ki sargoshi
kyun larazti hain pattiyan socho
pattharon ki panah mein kyun hai
aaina-saz ki dukan socho
asl sar-chashma-e-wafa kya hai
wajh-e-be-mehri-e-butan socho
zauq-e-tamir kyun nahin miTta
kyun ujaDti hain bastiyan socho
fikr-e-suqraat hai ki zahr ka ghunT
bais-e-umr-e-jawedan socho
log mani tarash hi lenge
koi be-rabt dastan socho
Nazm
Dawat-e-fikr
