apne aap se bhi duniya mein begana ban jata hai
tum jis ko diwana kah do diwana ban jata hai

dil ka aana ek qayamat jitne munh utni baaten
hoti hai ek baat zara si afsana ban jata hai

jam-o-subu ki qaid nahin hai pir-e-mughan ki shart nahin
rind jahan saghar chhalka den mai-khana ban jata hai

ishq ka bhi anjam wahi hai husn ka bhi anjam wahi
jalte jalte shama ka dil bhi parwana ban jata hai

jis gulshan par pad jata hai partaw aap ki aankhon ka
us gulshan ka ghuncha ghuncha paimana ban jata hai

bhuli-bisri yaadon ke yun naqsh ubharte rahte hain
kaba in taswiron se hi but-khana ban jata hai

dil ka raaz chhupa leta hai khamoshi ke parde mein
had se guzar kar diwana bhi farzana ban jata hai

khun-e-jigar se rangin ho kar jo palkon tak aa jae
wo aansu darbar-e-wafa mein nazrana ban jata hai

sahra gulshan ban jate hain dil ho agar aabaad 'tufail'
dil ujde to gulshan gulshan virana ban jata hai
