lahu na aankh se tapka na zakhm-e-dil ubhre
bhari bahaar ke ye din bahut giran guzre

wo pur-fareb nigahen wo e'timad ki maut
na jaane zehn pe mazi ke naqsh kyon ubhre

hasin lamhe meri zindagi ke lauta de
jo aarzu mein kate teri yaad mein guzre

junun-nawaz nigahen hain rahnuma apni
na jaane qafila-e-zindagi kahan thahre

sawal-e-tark-e-wafa tum ne khud uthaya tha
udas kyon hain nigahen ye baal yun bikhre

na jaane aaj hi kyon dil ki nabz dub gai
tere dayar se hum yun to barha guzre

yahi hai jaan-e-mohabbat yahi shuur-e-wafa
zaban khamosh nigahon pe laj ke pahre

qadam qadam pe fasane banenge ai 'mahir'
yahan na aankh hi bhige na munh ka rang utre
