kuchh khabar lai to hai baad-e-bahaari us ki
shayad is rah se guzregi sawari us ki

mera chehra hai faqat us ki nazar se raushan
aur baqi jo hai mazmun-nigari us ki

aankh utha kar jo rawadar na tha dekhne ka
wahi dil karta hai ab minnat o zari us ki

raat ki aankh mein hain halke gulabi dore
nind se palken hui jati hain bhaari us ki

us ke darbar mein hazir hua ye dil aur phir
dekhne wali thi kuchh kar-guzari us ki

aaj to us pe thaharti hi na thi aankh zara
us ke jate hi nazar main ne utari us ki

arsa-e-khwab mein rahna hai ki laut aana hai
faisla karne ki is bar hai bari us ki
