subu mein aks-e-rukh-e-mahtab dekhte hain
sharab pite nahin hum sharab dekhte hain

kisi bhi taur uthe par teri nigah uthe
jala ke ghar tujhe khana-kharab dekhte hain

use na dekh sakenge ai kash inhen dekhen
wo kaun hain jo ise be-naqab dekhte hain

hamare chehre pe likkha gaya fasana-e-waqt
hum aaina nahin takte kitab dekhte hain

wo hai hi laiq-e-sajda so hum ne sajda kiya
wo aur hain jo azab o sawab dekhte hain

hawas na jaan tujhe chhu ke dekhna ye hai
tujhe hi dekh rahe hain ki khwab dekhte hain
