tere suraj ko teri sham se pahchante hain
zindagi hum tujhe anjam se pahchante hain

kis qadar dhup kamata hai yahan koi ise
raunaq-e-mashghala-e-sham se pahchante hain

ishq wale to uthate hi nahin apni nigah
husn ko husn ke ahkaam se pahchante hain

khas andaz se khat likhta hai wo parda-nashin
hum use nudrat-e-paigham se pahchante hain

kaun karta hai pas-e-parda-e-aina kalam
aks ko hairat-e-ilham se pahchante hain

sakht taklif uthai hai use jaanne mein
is liye ab use aaram se pahchante hain

sach phate haal sa phirta hai gali-kuchon mein
sach ko aksar isi anjam se pahchante hain

main ne tardid to bheji thi pa shae na hui
ahl-e-shahr ab mujhe ilzam se pahchante hain

kaise naqqad hain ye itni badi shairi ko
bas riayat se iham se pahchante hain

'farhat-ehsas' kabhi ghar se nikalta hi nahin
shahr wale use bas nam se pahchante hain
