kisht-e-dayar-e-subh se tare ugaun main
ji chahta hai nit-nae manzar dikhaun main

wo shakhs chikhta hua amboh ban chuka
kis kis ko bolne dun kise chup karaun main

ab to hansi bhi khatm hai afsurdagi bhi khatm
lab-basta-e-azal tujhe kitna hansaun main

ek khwab misl-e-ashk nikal aae chashm se
darwaza-e-guman jo kabhi khatkhataun main

tu aa chuka hai dekh liya man bhi liya
ab aur kya karun tujhe sar par bithaun main

kya farq pad sakega andhere ki sharh mein
kuchh der raushni se agar bhar bhi jaun main

khamosh rah ki phir teri aawaz sun sakun
nazron se dur ja ki tujhe dekh paun main

aaine is tarah mujhe takta hai kis liye
pahchan bhi liya ki taaruf karaun main

'shaariq' har ek shakl se milti hai koi shakl
aakhir badan pe kaun sa chehra lagaun main
