hadisa ye sar-e-bazar bhi ho sakta hai
dil kisi roz giraftar bhi ho sakta hai

meri tahzib se khushbu na nikali jae
warna lahje mera talwar bhi ho sakta hai

apni aankhon se pilane ki koi baat bhi kar
mai-kada dur hai inkar bhi ho sakta hai

aaj-kal wo bhi mulaqat pe aamada hai
aaj ki raat chamatkar bhi ho sakta hai

shahzade se kaho mahl se bahar bhi rahe
ye kanizon mein giraftar bhi ho sakta hai

masala ye hai ki untiswin shab hai lekin
baadalon chand ka didar bhi ho sakta hai
