hirs-e-duniya jo teri aankh ka tara hua hai

hirs-e-duniya jo teri aankh ka tara hua hai
ye kisi ka na hamara na tumhaara hua hai
silwaten yun hi nahin khak-e-badan par hain mere
waqt ke hath ne paikar ye sanwara hua hai


masala sirf meri zat se wabasta nahin
dahr mein har koi taqdir ka mara hua hai
raqs karta hai junun shauq-e-farawani par
jab se ye 'ishq meri jaan dobara hua hai


kanp utthi hai sar-e-sham charaghon ki lau
han kisi ne to mera nam pukara hua hai
us ne toda hai ubalte hue dariya ka ghurur
nakhuda jo abhi manjdhaar se haara hua hai


yun hi honton pe nahin ubhre tabassum ke nuqush
bazm mein to kisi jaanib se ishaara hua hai
yun hi sine se lagata nahin koi bhi 'ayaz'
khak chhani hai to ye dasht hamara hua hai
