marham ke nahin hain ye taraf-dar namak ke
nikle hain mere zaKHm talabgar namak ke
aaya koi sailab kahani mein achanak
aur ghul gae pani mein wo kirdar namak ke
donon hi kinaron pe thi bimaron ki majlis
is par the miThe ke to us par namak ke
us ne hi diye zaKHm ye gardan pe hamari
phir us ne hi pahnae hamein haar namak ke
kahti thi ghazal mujh ko hai marham ki zarurat
aur dete rahe sab use ashaar namak ke
jis samt mila karti thin zaKHmon ki dawaen
sunte hain ki ab hain wahan bazar namak ke
