log aae hi nahin mujh ko mayassar aise
jo mujhe kahte ki aise nahin 'azbar' aise

jaisa main hun mere chehre ki hansi jaisi hai
ghaur se dekh ki hote nahin joker aise

tez dauda ke achanak meri rassi khinchi
us ne samjhaya mujhe lagti hai thokar aise

aankh khulne pe jo uthta hun to chakraata hun
kaun deta hai mujhe khwab mein chakkar aise

zulf aisi ke siyah reshmi jangal koi
nain us shakhs ke hain surmai marmar aise

koi to hota jo sine se laga kar kahta
baat thi baat ko lete nahin dil par aise

kis ne socha tha ki kamron mein faqat chup hogi
kis ne socha tha ki guzrega september aise

hae aakhir mein wahi hadisa pesh aaya 'safir'
hamein kahna pada likkhe the muqaddar aise
