jab shakh-e-tamanna pe koi phul khila hai ummid ke sahraon mein tufan utha hai tu meri nigahon mein jise dhundh raha hai wo husn mere sher ke parde mein chhupa hai tham tham ke chamakte rahe palkon pe sitare ruk ruk ke tere dard ka afsana kaha hai apne hi muqaddar ka koi phul na jaga ek umr bahaaron ne lahu mera piya hai is tarah se badli hai gulistan ki haqiqat shabnam ke khunuk jism pe shaalon ki rida hai shayad hai wahi meri mohabbat ka hayula ek saya jo chup-chap dariche mein khada hai takhliq isi se hui naghmat ki duniya 'iqbaal' ko jo gham teri khushiyon se mila hai
