kahin hue hain nigah se qarar aankhon mein
kare hai kyon ye tu dar-o-madar aankhon mein

mata-e-sabr-upar barq pad gai ai dil
hua hai jab sate wo chashm-chaar aankhon mein

na jaan mujh ko tu muflis ba-zahir ai jaanan
bhare hain moti mere be-shumar aankhon mein

jab us ne pi mai-e-gul-rang jam bhar bhar kar
main kya kahun hui zor hi bahaar aankhon mein

nigah-e-lutf na ki unne kya hua ai 'ali'
ki hon hain baaten to aisi hazar aankhon mein
