jab meri aankh mein lahu utra
phir tera aks hu-bahu utra

dafatan tujh ko chhat pe dekha tha
phir main zine se ba-wazu utra

din guzara tere tasawwur mein
raat ko khwab mein bhi tu utra

ishq ijad ho gaya pahle
aur phir harf-e-arzu utra

tere dil se utar gaya hun main
mere dil se magar na tu utra

us ko takta hi rah gaya 'kashif'
baam se jab wo mah-ru utra
