aur kuchh der yooN hii shor machaaye rakhiye
aasmaaN hai to usey sar pe uThaaye rakhiye

uNgaliyaaN gar nahiiN uTheiN, to na uTheiN lekin
kam se kam us kii taraf aaNkh uThaaye rakhiye

baarisheN aatii haiN toofaan guzar jaate haiN
kohsaaroN kii tarah paaNv jamaaye rakhiye

khiRhkiyaaN raat ko chhoRha na kareN aap khuliiN
ghar kii hai baat to phir ghar meN chhipaaye rakhiye

ab to aksar nazar aa jaata hai dil aaNkhoN meN
maiN na kahtaa thaa ki paanii hai dabaaye rakhiye

kaun jaane ki vo kab raah idhar bhool paRhe
apnii ummiid kii sham'oN ko jalaaye rakhiye

kab se darvaazoN ko dahliiz tarastii hai ''Nizam''
kab talak gaal ko kohanii pe Tikaaye rakhiye

Sheen. Kaaf. ''Nizam''
