diye ki aankh se jab guftugu nahin hoti
wo meri raat kabhi surkh-ru nahin hoti

hawa ke lams mein us ki mahak bhi hoti hai
wo shakh-e-gul jo kahin ru-ba-ru nahin hoti

kise nasib ye shirini-e-lab-o-lahja
har ek dasht mein ye aab-e-ju nahin hoti

main harf harf mein paikar tera samota hun
ghazal to hoti hai par hu-ba-hu nahin hoti

kabhi kabhi to main khud se kalam karta hun
kabhi kabhi to ye lagta hai tu nahin hoti
