kya hai hathon ki lakiron mein batao na mujhe
khwab se pahle hi ta'bir dikhao na mujhe

khub-tar khwab se kya hoga koi bhi jalwa
tut jaen na mere khwab jagao na mujhe

lo main hat jata hun raste se tumhaare yaro
shauq se aage nikal jao girao na mujhe

sirf sach bol ke ban jae na suqraat koi
mujh se kya dar hai tumhein zahr pilao na mujhe

she'r mere to hain bas harf-e-tasalli ki tarah
main masiha nahin suli pe chadhao na mujhe

ab na naghma na koi git hai baqi mujh mein
be-sada saz hun bekar bajao na mujhe
