be-gharaz tujh se jo milta hoga
us ka dil pyar ka dariya hoga

shak jo ahbab pe karta hoga
us ko apne pe bhi dhoka hoga

saf ubhar aae khad-o-khal us ke
chehra aaine mein dekha hoga

de diya waqt pe dhoka us ne
jis ko samjha tha ki apna hoga

wo jo khamosh hai maghmum bhi hai
us ne har baat pe socha hoga

aaj hum aap salamat hain to bas
kis ko malum ki kal kya hoga

kya 'kamal' us ki khabar hai tujh ko
kal kitabon mein tu bikhra hoga
