main jo ye aashiyan banata hun
barq ko mehman banata hun

ishq ki sharh aaj tak na hui
roz ek dastan banata hun

koi markaz to ho balaon ka
is liye aashiyan banata hun

ta wo ho be-khudi mein jalwa-numa
la-makan ko makan banata hun

mashq-e-sher-o-sukhan se main 'natiq'
un ke qabil zaban banata hun
