jo ab tak naw ye dubi nahin hai
to sahil par bhi bechaini nahin hai

chalo hum bhi wafa se baz aae
mohabbat koi majburi nahin hai

zara tarikiyon ko bhi pukaro
ki itni raushni achchhi nahin hai

abhi se kanpta hai shama ka dil
abhi us ne naqab ulti nahin hai

raha karti hai hasrat ban ke dil mein
mata-e-arzu lutti nahin hai

hayat-e-jawedan pane ki khatir
hayat-e-mukhtasar chhuti nahin hai

'imam' aaen zara us bazm tak wo
jinhen ehsas-e-mahrumi nahin hai
