kisi ka khat hai ya ye ghazal hai ye kaisa parcha pada hua hai
gulal se lab bane hain is mein kitab chehra bana hua hai

nigah us ki hai jhil jaisi kaman jaisi bhawon ke niche
to surkh honton ke ek jaanib bhi til ka pahra laga hua hai

han sabz qindil jal rahi hai bala ki surkhi ubal rahi hai
ada se palken jhuki huin hain haya ka aanchal pada hua hai

lo ab hamari saqil aankhen qadim raston pe chal padi hain
wafa ke khandar se kuchh pare hi hamara malba pada hua hai

safed baalon ke pichhe apni jawan umri ke pal nahin hain
hai ahd-e-tifli ka ek budha jo ladkhadata khada hua hai

bahut hasin hai ye sachcha moti jo rang se is ke munsalik hai
magar use ye khabar nahin hai hamara aansu juda hua hai

hai chap us ki hamari dhadkan jo dil mein dhak dhak lagi hui hai
firaq us ka visal hi hai wo ban ke dhadka laga hua hai

bahut sanwara musawwiron ne bahut se dale hain rang is mein
magar ye surat hai meri surat so rang is ka uda hua hai
