chamak yunhi nahin lafzon mein aai
kiya hai khun-e-dil ko raushnai

mere chehre se chipki thi udasi
hansi mayus ho kar laut aai

tamannaon ne ki sahra-nawardi
junun ne shahar mein hi khak udai

main dil ki baat sunne ka hun aadi
mubarak tum ko patthar ki khudai

kitaben ishq ki gum ho gai hain
adhuri rah gai meri padhai

ujala bhar gaya kamre mein mere
teri taswir ki hai ru-numai

tamazat mera matha chumti hai
main jab karta hun suraj ki burai

nahin khwahish parinda shakh-e-dil par
to is ke tut jaane mein bhalai

kharidega 'musawwir' kaun tum ko
agar qimat nahin apni badhai
