ye barf-posh manazir bhi shoala-khu nikle
ye kab hua ki dharo panw to lahu nikle

wo jab bhi aate hain suraj ke rath pe aate hain
ye is liye ki kisi ki na aarzu nikle

hujum itna ho jis ka na ho shumar ki jab
meri kitab ka parcham bana ke tu nikle

jhapakte dekhin kisi ne na muntazir aankhen
ye chaak wo hain jo begana-e-rafu nikle

naqab tabish-e-jalwa se aab aab hua
ki jaise dhup mein koi kinar-e-ju nikle

hujum-e-baada-kashan mein bhi hum ne dekha hai
bahut se log hamesha hi ba-wazu nikle

halak hota hai kab koi dusron ke liye
kiya jo ghaur to hum apne hi adu nikle

ye mere jazb-e-nihan ka hai moajaza shayad
ki dil mein jhank ke dekhun to tu hi tu nikle

ye hai bahaar ki charba bahaar ka 'khawar'
ki dhund odh ke ushshaq-o-khub-ru nikle
