ek masarrat mere atraf ko anjaani de
nutq ko lab se utha aankh ko hairani de

hai tamanna ki chamakte rahen mehwar ke baghair
hawas-e-kham na de ishq tu la-fani de

naqsh to sare mukammal hain ab uljhan ye hai
kis ko aabaad kare aur kise virani de

dekh kar aae hain kuchh log wahan sabz lakir
main use dekh sakun itni giran-jaani de

ye to dekhen ki hai buniyaad mein kya kya mahfuz
ghar banaya hai to ab warta-e-tughyani de

aks-e-rukh kaisa yahan kuchh bhi nahin hai dil mein
hum ko shadab na kar hausla tufani de

samne tere hum is khak se sharminda na hon
maut aasan ho ya rizq mein arzani de

jaane kya kya nazar aata hai tamanna bar-kaf
mere malik mujhe do roz ki sultani de

hausla haar gai tishna-dahani 'haqqi'
ab tu mashkiza utha aur mujhe pani de
