kabhi to nazar-e-karam mujh pe khub-ru karte
tamam umr kati un ki aarzu karte

khudi ko thes na lagti labon ki jumbish se
nigah-e-naz se wo mujh se guftugu karte

chaman se guzra bahaaron ka qafila lekin
hum apne chaak-gareban kahan rafu karte

hamare ghar jo kabhi jaan-e-mah-ru aata
to us ke qadmon pe qurban aarzu karte

nigahen un se milin tab ye ja ke hum samjhe
shabab yun hi ganwaya hai justuju karte

yahan to soz-e-tamanna mein aankh sukh chali
rahi tamanna ki ashkon se hum wuzu karte

zafar bana lo kisi ko bhi raaz-dan apna
tamam umr kati dil se guftugu karte
