ahl-e-dil fasanon mein zikr-e-yar karte hain

ahl-e-dil fasanon mein zikr-e-yar karte hain
muskura ke mahfil ko ashk-bar karte hain
bad-nasib dharti ki dastan hi aisi hai
is ke chahne wale is pe war karte hain


dhajjiyon ke sauda-gar aaen aa ke le jaen
hum khushi se daman ko tar-tar karte hain
hadson ke kandhon par jism-o-jaan ko le aao
aspatal ke kamre intizar karte hain


bhuli-bisri yaadon ke barf-dan mein rakh do
khwab jo tumhein aksar be-qarar karte hain
jod-tod lafzon ka shairi nahin hota
log jaane kyon aisa bar bar karte hain
