khushamad kar ke wo pahron kabhi mujh ko manata hai
use meri tarah se chahne ka dhang aata hai

jahan-e-husn ki ranaiyon mein shauq ka aalam
shararat jab bhi dil karta hai dilbar muskuraata hai

ba-sad lutf-o-karam le kar mujhe jata hai dariya tak
dubo kar mujh ko khud bhi wo usi mein dub jata hai

ba-waqt-e-khas mujh ko munkashif karta hai wo mujh par
wo apni shan-e-yaktai ka jalwa yun dikhata hai

lakiren mere hathon ki yakayak jagmagati hain
mere hathon mein jis lamha tumhaara hath aata hai

mujhe is qism ki koi shikayat hi nahin us se
jalata hai kudhata hai satata hai rulata hai

yahi qissa hai maut-o-zindagi ka ai mere hamdam
koi apni adaen dil-ruba ke rukh dikhata hai

'suhail' is tarah likhta hai wo khud-arai ka qissa
wo apna nam likh kar phir tumhaara nam lata hai
