lazzat-e-kar bhi hasil nahin be-garon mein
wo yahi soch ke shamil hai ghalat-karon mein

be-rukhi tarz-e-taghaful wo talawwun kya tha
ek iqrar jo dhalta raha inkaron mein

phir dabe panw wo chunte hain sulagti tisen
aable khul ke jo hanste hain khazaf-zaron mein

koi shoalon ki lapak thi na dhuen ki lapten
jal-bujhi aab-o-hawa karb ke angaron mein

aankh to aankh thi sanson se shuaen phutin
koi lipta tha ghani zulf ki mahkaron mein

wo jo iffat hai sarapa to mera ijz ba-khair
puj lunga use pazeb ki jhankaron mein

dub kar so gae is bahr-e-khala mein 'rahi'
koi tinka hi na tha khokhle meayaron mein
