falak ke hathon jidhar munh uthae jata hun
udhar se jun gul-e-bazi tapancha khata hun

kabhi hai aankhon mein zar dida pe nigah un ki
ki main har ek se aankh apni ab churaata hun

hawa ke ghode pe jab wo sawar hote hain
to pa ke waqt main kya kya maze udata hun

khilafi un ke wo aankhen jo yaad aati hain
to apni aankhon ko ro ro ke main sujata hun

bala se gar nahin milte wo mujh se par 'maruf'
unhon ka shahr main aashiq to main kahata hun
