dil mein rakkhe hue aankhon mein basae hue shakhs
pas se dekh mujhe dur se aae hue shakhs

jaanta hun ye mulaqat zara der ki hai
tapti rahon mein khunuk chhanw khilae hue shakhs

tere lab par tere rukhsar ki lau padti hai
tab-e-khurshid se mahtab jalae hue shakhs

ye to duniya bhi nahin hai ki kinara kar le
tu kahan jaega ai dil ke satae hue shakhs

dhup ranjish ki tarah phail rahi hai mujh mein
kya kahun tujh se mere sae mein aae hue shakhs

munhadim hote hue waqt se puchho to 'saud'
kya hue wo tere hathon ke banae hue shakhs
