harf-e-taza nai khushbu mein likha chahta hai
bab ek aur mohabbat ka khula chahta hai

ek lamhe ki tawajjoh nahin hasil us ki
aur ye dil ki use had se siwa chahta hai

ek hijab-e-tah-e-iqrar hai mane warna
gul ko malum hai kya dast-e-saba chahta hai

ret hi ret hai is dil mein musafir mere
aur ye sahra tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa chahta hai

yahi khamoshi kai rang mein zahir hogi
aur kuchh roz ki wo shokh khula chahta hai

raat ko man liya dil ne muqaddar lekin
raat ke hath pe ab koi diya chahta hai

tere paimane mein gardish nahin baqi saqi
aur teri bazm se ab koi utha chahta hai
