aur ishrat ki tamanna kya karen
samne tu ho tujhe dekha karen

mahw ho jaen tasawwur mein tere
hum bhi apne qatre ko dariya karen

hum ko hai har roz har waqt intizar
banda-parwar gah gah aaya karen

chaaragar ka chahiye karna ilaj
us ko bhi apna sa diwana karen

un ke aane ka bharosa ho na ho
rah hum un ki magar dekha karen

hum nahin na-waqif rasm-e-adab
dil ki betabi ko 'wahshat' kya karen
