kaun hai us ke bankpan ki tarah
husn hai husn-e-anjuman ki tarah

main ne makhmur us ko dekha hai
raat jagi hui dulhan ki tarah

jage jage tere badan ke khutut
khil-khilate hue chaman ki tarah

ek mere chand ke na hone se
chandni raat hai kafan ki tarah

ishq shaista-e-junun nikla
tere mathe ki ek shikan ki tarah

koi tarikh-e-ishq dohra dun
zindagani hai kohkan ki tarah

koi ban-than ke ghar se nikla hai
zindagi ke hasin chalan ki tarah

pairahan aur aise unwan se
rang-o-gulha-e-pairahan ki tarah

kaisi viraniyan mein 'daur' yahan
zindagi hai ujad ban ki tarah
