kahte hain id hai aaj apni bhi id hoti
hum ko agar mayassar jaanan ki did hoti

qimat mein did-e-rukh ki hum naqd-e-jaan lagate
bazar-e-naz lagta dil ki kharid hoti

kuchh apni baat kahte kuchh mera haal sunet
naz-o-niyaz ki yun guft-o-shunid hoti

jalwe dikhate jate wo tarz-e-dilbari ke
aur dil mein yan hawa-e-naz-e-mazid hoti

tegh-e-nazar se dil par wo war karte jate
aur lab pe yan sada-e-hal-mim-mazid hoti

abru se un ke ghamza tir-e-ada lagata
ye dil qatil hota ye jaan shahid hoti

kuchh hausla badhata andaz-e-lutf-e-jaanan
kuchh daghdagha sa hota kuchh kuchh umid hoti
