Janey kiyun wo bheer mein tanha lagta hai
Jaise dasht may koi ghulab tanha khilta hai
Uski ghazlon ka unwaan hamesha firaaq hota hai
Phir bhi wo hurf vasl bar-haa likhta hai
Taqseem jab bhi hoti hai zaat meri tukroon may
Wo bhaut inhimak se bhikharne ki sada sunta hai
Jab bhi kisi dewane per waar kartey hain ahl-e-shehar
Sub teer wo apney seenay pe tanha sehta hai
Ab bhi wo sahil pe khada lehroon ko hasrat se taka karta hai
Janey kiyun wo samandar ko piyaasa likhta hai
