jise aana hai milne ke liye wo aa hi jata hai
na aana ho to wadon se faqat bahla hi jata hai

jo aa kar khwab mein bhi zehn-o-dil par chha hi jata hai
wo zulf-e-mushkbu se qasr-e-dil mahka hi jata hai

kabhi wahshat-zada mahaul mein apne hi sae se
hujum-e-kashmakash mein aadmi ghabra hi jata hai

har ek chehre pe aae jab nazar ek dusra chehra
fareb-e-rang-o-bu insan aksar kha hi jata hai

jise apna samajhta tha parayon se bhi hai bad-tar
meri auqat aa kar wo mujhe batla hi jata hai

parae aur apne dafn kar ke laut aate hain
jo tanha aaya hai duniya se wo tanha hi jata hai

jalane aur bujhane mein mahaarat hai jise hasil
ulajh jati hai jo gutthi use suljha hi jata hai

junun-e-intiha-e-shauq khizr-e-rah ho jis ka
wo apni manzil-e-maqsud 'barqi' pa hi jata hai
