khubsurat to na tha dilkash magar chehra laga
man ki aankhon mein jo dekha chand ka tukda laga

pahle wo bad-rang sa ek kanch ka tukda laga
hath mein tum ne liya to aaina achchha laga

jis ka ji karta hai aa jata hai wo hansta hua
kis qadar aasan mere dil ka darwaza laga

duriyan sari simat kar aa gain dalan tak
wo pari-rukh yak-ba-yak sine se mere aa laga

shahr ke logon ke andar thi bahut apnaiyat
go ki har chehra tha begana magar apna laga

pyar se dali nazar jab man ke chehre ki taraf
jhurriyon se pur wo chehra kis qadar pyara laga

muddai khush the saza-e-maut par 'tariq' magar
kyon mujhe munsif ka chehra itna afsurda laga
