Patthar ke jigar walo gham mein wo rawani hai
Khud raah bana lega bahta hua pani hai

Phoolon mein ghazal rakhna ye rat ki rani hai
Us mein teri zulfon ki be rabt kahani

Ek zehne pareshan mein wo phool sa chera hai
Patthar ki hifazat mein shishe ki jawani hai

Kyon chandni raaton mein darya pe nahate ho
Soye huye pani mein kya aag lagani hai

Is hoslaye dil par hamne bhi kafan pah.na
Hanskar koi puchhega kya jaan ganwani hai

Rone ka asar dil par rah rah ke badalta hai
Ansoo kabhi shisha hai ansu kabhi pani hai

Ye shabnami lehja hai ahista ghazal padhna
Titli ki kahani hai phoolon ki zabani hai
