jab bhi nigah-e-saqi dil ko tatolti hai
arman bhi dolte hain niyyat bhi dolti hai

wo aaine mein aise mahsus ho rahe hain
angdai le ke jaise taswir bolti hai

kis waqt se khushi ko aawaz de raha hun
dekhen wo naznin kab darwaza kholti hai

jaane ye kya hua hai doshiza-e-khirad ko
ghabra ke dekhti hai sharma ke bolti hai

ek waqt tha 'adam' jab wo khud na bolte the
ek waqt ye hai un ki taswir bolti hai
