kuchh din to malal us ka haq tha
bichhda to khayal us ka haq tha

wo raat bhi din si taza rakhta
shabnam ka jamal us ka haq tha

wo tarz-e-bayan mein chandni tha
taron se visal us ka haq tha

tha us ka khiram mauj-e-dariya
lahron ka jalal us ka haq tha

barish ka badan tha us ka hansna
ghunche ka khisal us ka haq tha

rakhta tha sambhaal shisha-e-jaan
tajsim-e-kamal us ka haq tha

baadal ki misal us ki khu thi
tabir-e-hilal us ka haq tha

ujla tha chambeliyon ke jaisa
yusuf sa jamal us ka haq tha
