ek kitab sirhane rakh di ek charagh sitara kiya
malik is tanhai mein tu ne kitna khayal hamara kiya

ye to bas ek koshish si thi pahle pyar mein rahne ki
sach puchho to hum logon mein kis ne ishq dobara kiya

chand adhure kaamon ne kuchh waqt girafta logon ne
din purze purze kar dala raat ko para para kiya

dil ko ek surat bhai thi is amboh mein par hum ne
jaane is afra-tafri mein kis ki samt ishaara kiya

sar par taj ki surat dhar di us ne indhan ki gathri
ishq ne kaise khush-qismat ko shah se lakadhaara kiya

sardi ki aamad thi lekin sawan ki rut laut aai
bujhte bujhte ek wahshat mein aankh ne ranj dobara kiya
