gazalein meri karti hai mujhse wafadari

ho jane de bezubaan raaj ko,
karne de mujh ko shayri,
mujhe guftugu ka salika nahi pata,
mujhe sune gaur se duniya sari,

dosti ho kisi se aisa mera kirdar nahi,
magar mere shero se hain sabko yari,
kasam khayi thi tumse ab na bolege,
ijaazat do bas itni likhu tumpe ghazal,
aur kasam bhi na tute hamari.

jo milta hai kar ke chhalli chala jata hai,
kuch aisi hai ab kismat hamari,
shukr hai likhne ka hunar hai mujh mein,
chaahe hazaro ho burayi ,
gazalein meri karti hai mujhse wafadari.
