ai kashmakash-e-ulfat ji sakht pareshan hai
marne ki bhi hasrat hai jine ka ka bhi arman hai

sahil se nahin lagti gharqab nahin hoti
kashti hai thapedon mein ye bhi koi tufan hai

main kya meri ulfat kya tu aur mujhe puchhe
bas ai sitam-ara bas hasrat hai na arman hai

ye mauj-e-tabassum kya zalim ise dho degi
jo rang-e-pashemani chehra se numayan hai

maghrur-e-mohabbat hun khud meri nigahon mein
ye be-sar-o-samani raaz-e-sar-o-saman hai

is husn-e-mujassam ki sharmili adaon ka
ehsas-e-mohabbat bhi sharminda-e-ehsan hai

'manzur' use rukhsat kis dil se karunga main
dhadka hai yahi har dam jab se ki wo mehman hai
