aks-dar-aks hai chehron ki numudari se
aaina dekhte hain log bhi be-zari se

phir bhi ilzam kai aa gae sar par apne
main gurezan to raha waqt ki ayyari se

bughz hai hirs hai ghibat hai riya-kari hai
jis qadar bhi ho raho dur hi bimari se

bat ke rah jata hai insan kai hisson mein
mashghale paida ajab hote hain bekari se

be-sabab girta nahin aadmi nazron se kabhi
bad-kalami ke sabab ya kabhi makkari se

na-mukammal hai ghazal gham ki mahaarat ke baghair
husn aata hai kahan sheron mein fankari se

log girwida mere yunhi nahin aaj 'latif'
dil ko jita hai rawabit se rawa-dari se
