khak o khun ki wusaton se ba-khabar karti hui
ek nazar imkan-hazar-imkan safar karti hui

ek ajab bechain manzar aankh mein dhalta hua
ek khalish saffak si sine mein ghar karti hui

ek kitab-e-sad-hunar tashrih-e-zail ka shikar
ek mohmal baat jadu ka asar karti hui

jism aur ek nim-poshida hawas-amadgi
aankh aur sair-e-libas-e-mukhtasar karti hui

tishnagi ka zahr sine ko siyah karta hua
ek talab apne nashe ko tez-tar karti hui

wo nigah apne liye hai sad-hisab-e-arzu
aur mujhe begana-e-naf-o-zarar karti hui
