jazba-e-shauq ka izhaar kahan hota hai
yan haqiqat pe bhi khwabon ka guman hota hai

ahd-e-tifli mein jise zist ka hasil jaana
waqt ka ab unhi baaton mein ziyan hota hai

tum hi aaoge meri ruh mein khushbu ban kar
ye tasawwur bhi ajab rahat-e-jaan hota hai

raat palkon pe sajata hun wafaon ke charagh
din nikalne pe ye andaz kahan hota hai

ishq-e-shorida ko ashkon se tamasha na bana
aag par pani ke padne se dhuan hota hai

mera mahbub hai kya puchhne wale ab puchh
han ye 'manzar' bhi shab-o-roz wahan hota hai
