kore kaaghaz pe kalam jab jab ruka ,
mere dahliz par koi tab tab ruka
dopahar,subah-o-shaam parchaai thi,
pure wazood me har shab ruka
bandishon ko padha mujhe padhne ko,
mere hone ka de kar matlab ruka
wo namaazi bhi kare sajda magar,
ik kalam kaaghaz pe uska majhab ruka
koi jalaa kar gaya chota sa deepak,
jaana hamdam ki koi rab ruka
lazzat-e-shaayari aayi unke lab se,
bhulaa ke saare shauq-o-talab ruka
daanish-e-charaaghaari mili jaane kab,
raah-e-gurbatt me paas maktab ruka
jo kitaabon me aata jaata tha raha,
neel aankhon ke tale jaane kab ruka,
....
