kai dinon tak nazar mein rahne pe han karegi
wo pahli koshish pe dil-kushada kahan karegi

khuda ki marzi bata raha tha bichhadne wala
wo jaanta tha ki gili lakdi dhuan karegi

mujhe pata hai main us ki nazron se gir gaya hun
meri tawajjoh bhi ab use bad-guman karegi

bichhad gae dost to ghalat-fahmiyan badhengi
zamin pe bikhre tanon ka dimak ziyan karegi

baghair patwar moajiza hoga par lagna
ye lahr par hai kidhar safina rawan karegi

koi shagufa tumhaare hansne ka muntazir hai
kisi nazare ko dhup aa kar ayan karegi
