ishq yak-tarfa tha ye man liya hai main ne
kaun kya hai yahi ab jaan liya hai main ne

log phir rang koi aur use den shayad
is liye rasta sunsan liya hai main ne

ishq ke badle mein ruswai mili hai yani
nafe ke nam pe nuqsan liya hai main ne

wo mujhe yaad karenge are na-mumkin hai
ki rawayye se hi pahchan liya hai main ne

kis tariqe se karun khud-kushi is soch mein hun
hijr ke rog se saman liya hai main ne

is jahan mein na koi shakhs kisi ka rahta
ye sabaq bhi are nadan liya hai main ne

apne har feal mein goya hai darinda 'kashif'
bas maani mein hi insan liya hai main ne
