mushtaq ba-dastur zamana hai tumhaara
aane se fusun-khez na aana hai tumhaara

laila ki hikayat bhi hikayat hai tumhaari
shirin ka fasana bhi fasana hai tumhaara

is dil ki khabar tum se ziyaada kise hogi
andaz magar be-khabarana hai tumhaara

tum husn-e-mujassam ho bila-shirkat-e-ghaire
na-qabil-e-taqsim khazana hai tumhaara

dil mein koi aa jae to wapas nahin jata
dushwar yahan se kahin jaana hai tumhaara

tum se mutassir hain nae hon ki purane
uslub naya hai ki purana hai tumhaara

kyun raushni-o-rang se mamur na ho dil
sunsan sahi aaina-khana hai tumhaara

samjhaya bujhaya na karo dil ko 'shuur' ab
kambakht ne kahna kabhi mana hai tumhaara
