aata chala gaya hai wo khush-fikr dhyan mein
badhti chali gai hai nafasat bayan mein

yun kho gaya hun masnawi sahar-ul-bayan mein
shamil hun jaise main bhi usi dastan mein

ek pair chhu gaya hai kisi mah-jamal ka
ab jashn ka saman sa hai kapde ke than mein

tujh tak to main pahunch hi gaya hun magar ye kya
dil sarf ho chuka hai kahin darmiyan mein

hum bhi lawahiqin hain marhum ishq ke
likhiye hamara nam bhi aazurdagan mein

us naqsh ka numud se kya wasta bhala
aaya nahin jo us nigah-e-mehrban mein

aankhon mein tairte hue doron ki khair ho
mausam ne kuchh kaha to nahin tere kan mein
