kabhi suraj hai kabhi zohra-jamalon jaisa

kabhi suraj hai kabhi zohra-jamalon jaisa
kyun wo lagta hai mujhe meri misalon jaisa
har tarah se wo bahut achchha hai lekin us ko
dekhna chahti hun apne khayalon jaisa


chahti hun ki karun us se mohabbat khul kar
lekin anjam na ho chahne walon jaisa
kis tarah man lun main us ki nisabi baaten
us ka mauqif hai kitabon ke hawalon jaisa


meri zid hai use hal kar ke rahungi main bhi
wo jo lagta hai riyazi ke sawalon jaisa
aaj ke din bhi ghata khul ke na barse shayad
aaj ka din bhi hai wahshat mein ghazalon jaisa


ai mohabbat mein mujhe chand sa kahne wale
mujh 'qamar' ko na samajh meri misalon jaisa
