kaj-faham se kya dil ki hikayat kahen hum
behtar hai jo samjhen so wahi ban ke rahen hum

ho rau mein teri chashm-e-bala-khez ka dariya
is nur ke sailab mein ek bar bahen hum

jo kaif tere qurb mein hai aur kahan hai
dekh aae hain waise to bahut aish-gahen hum

thi jhilon ki aaghosh mein gahrai jahan par
chhod aae parindon ki tarah aisi jaghen hum

aamad ka teri jab koi imkan nahin hai
kab tak dil-e-be-tab yunhi tham rakhen hum

jo aks wo chahen wahi aaina dikhae
wo dekhen hamein jaise 'khiram' un ko dikhen hum
