hisar-e-zat se bahar nikal jaane ki thani hai
zara main bhi to dekhun mujh mein kitni be-karani hai

kisi se puchhte kya ho jabinon par nazar dalo
lakiren khud kahengi kis ne kitni khak chhani hai

fareb-e-baal-o-par mein qaid hai ehsas ka tair
shuur-o-agahi par bhi qafas ki hukmrani hai

mata-e-arzu ashkon ki surat aankh mein aa kar
thahar jae to gauhar hai jo bah jae to pani hai

kinare se nikal kar chahti hai be-karan hona
nafas ki rau hai ya shorida dariya ki rawani hai

siwae gard-e-rah-e-shauq kya rakkha hai qisse mein
hamari zindagi khana-ba-doshon ki kahani hai

meri aankhon se mehr-o-mah paiham baat karte hain
mere paikar mein raushan ek jahan-e-khush-gumani hai

suluk-e-dostan par raaz tum hairat-zada kyun ho
nae hain zakhm-e-jaan lekin riwayat to purani hai
