khud hi apna raaz khud hi raazdan ban jaunga
ek lamhe ka yaqin hun phir guman ban jaunga

harf ki surat zaban par ek bar aane to do
dekhte hi dekhte main dastan ban jaunga

ibtida mein ek alamat tha guzarte waqt ki
intiha tak agle waqton ka nishan ban jaunga

jab tarasha ja raha tha zehn mein mera badan
kis ne socha tha ki main suna makan ban jaunga

hote hote wahm mein tahlil ho jaoge tum
aur main bhi ek sai-e-raegan ban jaunga

'hairat' aisa hi mashiyyat ka hai shayad qaeda
jhilmilati lau se ubhra hun dhuan ban jaunga
