apne bare mein jab bhi socha hai

apne bare mein jab bhi socha hai
us ka chehra nazar mein ubhra hai
tajrabon ne yahi bataya hai
aadmi shohraton ka bhuka hai


dekhiye to hai karwan warna
har musafir safar mein tanha hai
us ke bare mein sochne walo
dekh lo ab ye haal apna hai


kaun bandish lagae khushbu ki
ishq fitrat ka ek taqaza hai
yaad aai hai jaane kis kis ki
lab pe jab zikr us ka aaya hai


fikr ki talkhiyon mein gum ho kar
aadmi be-sabab bhi hansta hai
aarzumand koi ho to kahun
mere dil mein bhi ek tamanna hai


mere chehre pe jo likha hai 'nazar'
ghaur se kis ne us ki samjha hai
