hont masruf-e-dua aankh sawali kyun hai
dil ke manind mera zehn bhi khali kyun hai

wo to naraaz hai mujh se to phir aakhir us ne
muskurahat si meri samt uchhaali kyun hai

us ko hairat mere sheron pe nahin is par hai
mere shane pe jo chadar hai wo kali kyun hai

wo bhi kya din the teri soch ko chhu sakta tha
ab tera aks faqat aks-e-khayali kyun hai

kya bataoge ki hum mein se wafa kis ne ki
tum ne mahfil mein meri baat nikali kyun hai

is irade se mein baitha tha ghazal likhne ko
sochta hun teri taswir bana li kyun hai

ab main jaane nahin deta to bura manti ho
is qadar pyar ki aadat mujhe dali kyun hai
