barishon mein bhigne ki ab mujhe fursat nahin
mausamon ke rang mein pahli si wo hiddat nahin

talkhiyan masrufiyat ne kuchh badha din is qadar
sach kahun shirin-dahan se mujh ko to nafrat nahin

husn ki taqsim mein hi rah gai koi kami
dhundhta hai dil jise wo shahr mein surat nahin

chahta hai ji ki ye bhi sath ho aur wo bhi ho
kya karen par jeb mein is aish ki qimat nahin

rokna tha daur-e-awwal hi ke naron ko wahan
ab junun-e-shahr par paoge tum qudrat nahin

dil to dil kajal bhi ab to lab-kusha hone lage
is liye 'sima' tere alfaz ki hajat nahin
