jaise kaha ye kuze ne girdab ko lapet
dil jhat se bol uttha ki sanjab ko lapet

tu aab-e-zindagi ki haqiqat samajh ke tair
ek aaftab tham ke talab ko lapet

mujh se lipat gaya tha koi misl-e-hadsat
dil bola apne jism pe aadab ko lapet

tu baat man qaht mein kashti bana ai dost
phir apni chappu-rani se sailab ko lapet

chhupta nahin hai raat ki chadar se chand bhi
ai yar aastin mein mahtab ko lapet

'patras' ke daur se hi to lahauriyon ne 'aun'
lahore ko kaha hai ki punjab ko lapet

aakhir kisi ka hukm to hai ashk ashk ko
bahne se pahle pahle kisi khwab ko lapet
