be-sabab hi koi patthar to na aaya hoga
aaina aap ne auron ko dikhaya hoga

wo diwana jo mohabbat se shanasa hoga
us ne is rah mein kya kuchh na lutaya hoga

dasht pahle ki tarah aaj bhi pyasa hoga
abr barsa bhi to dariyaon pe barsa hoga

qahqaha bar tha jo shakhs bhari mahfil mein
aa ke tanhai mein kuchh soch ke roya hoga

haal gulshan ka asiran-e-qafas kya jaanen
ai saba tu hi bata tu ne to dekha hoga

kaun is dhup mein kamre se nikalta 'anwar'
jis ko chalna tha kadi dhup mein chalta hoga
