badha kar aankh ke tinke ko bhi shahtir karte hain
chalo achchha hai kuchh to wo meri tashhir karte hain

jo uljhe hain unhen wo aur bhi gambhir karte hain
masail hal nahin karte hain bas taqrir karte hain

siwa mayusiyon ke kuchh unhen hasil nahin hota
mitane ki hamein jo raat-din tadbir karte hain

hamare kaun se ye kaam aaegi batao to
tumhaare nam aao dil ki hum jagir karte hain

nazar mein raqs karte hain bahut se gum-shuda manzar
tumhaara nam jab kaghaz pe hum tahrir karte hain

meri aankhon mein hi zauq-e-talab ki kuchh kami hogi
wagarna jalwa dikhlane mein kyon takhir karte hain

chalo sahil pe chal kar dekhte hain dastan-e-gham
suna hai dubne wale bhi kuchh tahrir karte hain

jinhen pas-e-wafa mukhtar az-had ras aata hai
wahi aiwan-e-ulfat khun se tamir karte hain
