junhi lab kholta hai wo to jadu bandhta hai
hasin alfaz ke pairon mein ghunghru bandhta hai

andheri shab ke daman mein damakte hain sitare
khayal-e-yar jab palkon pe jugnu bandhta hai

meri parwaz ko mashrut kar ke nek sayyaad
qafas gar khol deta hai to bazu bandhta hai

sulagta khaulta mahaul aur khushki ghazal ki
ki dil ek aas ka chhappar lab-e-ju bandhta hai

'naqib' ashaar apne zindagani ke safar mein
koi zad-e-safar mein jaise sattu bandhta hai
