jab apne dil pe apna kuchh ikhtiyar dekha
begana-khu hasin ko begana-war dekha

paiham tajalliyon ki mujh mein sakat kahan thi
nazren chura chura kar sue-nigar dekha

aaj apni be-khudi ko irfan ki raushni mein
us mah-e-sim-tan ka aaina-dar dekha

teri inayaton se anjam-bin nazar mein
aaghaz-e-ishq hi mein anjam-e-kar dekha

ye bholi bholi surat ai chand phir bhi tu ne
meri taraf se apne dil mein ghubar dekha

husn-e-shabab-parwar kis darje sehar-za hai
dekha tera zamana ai gul-e-ezar dekha

us shokh ki gali mein manzur-e-tafta-jaan ko
phir be-qarar paya phir ashk-bar dekha
