ashk aankhon mein bahane ke liye rakkhe hain

ashk aankhon mein bahane ke liye rakkhe hain
qimti moti lutane ke liye rakkhe hain
tukde tukde teri taswir nahin ki hai faqat
sun le ye khat bhi jalane ke liye rakkhe hain


ghair ke sath rifaqat hai magar hum jaise
bazm mein she'r sunane ke liye rakkhe hain
in piyaadon se mohabbat hi nahin hai tum ko
ye to bas jaan ganwane ke liye rakkhe hain


mujh ko ma'lum hai ye hont mere galon par
tu ne ehsan jatane ke liye rakkhe hain
kuchh munafiq to khuda tu ne hamari saf mein
sirf ehsas dilane ke liye rakkhe hain


chand bose jo mere nam ke hote 'hamza'
us ne mahfuz zamane ke liye rakkhe hain
