ghurur-e-husn-o-jafa us ka sab shunida tha
magar wo samne aaya to aabdida tha

chatan ki tarah sang-lakh thi zamin sari
magar wo akhwa tah-e-sang nau-damida tha

wo shab ki shab mere har pyar ka jawab raha
sahar hui to wahi shakhs kuchh kashida tha

mujhe qubul ki tha be-hisab us ka karam
use bhi ilm ki daman mera darida tha

libas tan pe tha khun-gashta-e-ana dil tha
wo ab bhi zinda to tha hae sar-burida tha

ghamon ke sath mohabbat ke kitne pechan the
ghamon ka sath magar dast-e-na-rasida tha

wo eatibar-e-hunar sath kyon liye phirta
ki us ki jholi mein har lafz na-chashida tha
