kanon ko hai bhai hui taqrir kisi ki
aaankhon mein samai hui taswir kisi ki

kuchh ishq mein chalti nahin tadbir kisi ki
sar phod jo rah jae hai taqdir kisi ki

har zarre mein hai jalwa har ek qatre mein hai aab
hai arsh pe chhai hui tanwir kisi ki

andaz buton ke nahin aate hain nazar mein
rahti hai nigahon mein jo taswir kisi ki

khat padh ke kahin aur bigad baithe na yarab
yaad aai hai abru dam-e-tahrir kisi ki

ye girya-o-zari dil-e-betab kahan tak
ruswa kahin ho jae na taqsir kisi ki

ek muntazir-e-did ki pathra gain aankhen
takhir kisi ki hui tazir kisi ki

main fakhr se kahta hun mujhe tum se hai ulfat
badhti hai tere nam se tauqir kisi ki

rukh pher magar sar na hile dekh ki zalim
atki hai teri zulf mein taqdir kisi ki

mehman hai koi din ke, chale jaenge 'rahbar'
baithenge nahin dab ke jagir kisi ki
