khwab jab se ek hasina ke nazar aane lage
maulwi sahab bhi beauty parlour jaane lage

hum ko thi un se mohabbat wo bhi the hum par fida
baat sidhi thi magar kuchh log uljhane lage

nim ke bute pe wo kya chadh gae ki shaikh ji
shiddat-e-jazbaat mein nimboliyan khane lage

us ki khatiya kab khadi ho jae kah sakte nahin
aashiqi ka jis ke sar par bhut mandrane lage

muft ki pi kar kahi thi ek din hum ne ghazal
sher uth uth kar chacha ghaalib se takrane lage

ba-tarannum hum ne bas matla padha tha bazm mein
log jo aae abhi the wo bhi ghar jaane lage

yun kisi se kam na the hazir-jawabi mein magar
wo hue jab samne 'masrur' haklane lage
