marhale aise bhi aksar aae
phul barsae to patthar aae

ek faqat aap ke ho jaane se
kitne ilzam mere sar aae

jam thukra diye jab bhi main ne
samne mere samundar aae

ek chehre pe bashaarat na mili
an-ginat chehron ko padh kar aae

bhul jate hain parinde man ko
jab bhi udne ko zara par aae

aap ka shahr ki tha shahr-e-adab
be-adab is mein bhi kuchh dar aae

ishq mein 'taj' kashish ho aisi
khud hi mahbub tadap kar aae
