sang kisi ke chalte jaen dhyan kisi ka rakkhen
hum wo musafir sath apne saman kisi ka rakkhen
rang-birange manzar dil mein aanhken KHali KHali
hum aawaz kisi ko den imkan kisi ka rakkhen
ek jaise hain dukh sukh sab ke ek jaisi ummiden
ek kahani sab ki kya unwan kisi ka rakkhen
din bhar to hum paDhte phiren apni ghazlen nazmen
raat sirhane apne hum diwan kisi ka rakkhen
ukhDi ukhDi ulTi sidhi ‘shaz’ hain us ki baaten
aao kuchh din is dil ko mehman kisi ka rakkhen
