mera din khubsurat yun bana deta to kya hota
wo hum ko pyar se aa kar jaga deta to kya hota

bahut wade kiye the aap ne to sath rahne ke
mohabbat mein agar ek do nibha dete to kya hota

mera is shab ki tariki se dil bechain hota hai
rukh-e-anwar se wo parda hata dete to kya hota

musawwir hun tasawwur aap ki taswir hai mera
tumhein gar apni yaadon se mita dete to kya hota

main kab se muntazir tha aap ki nazar-e-karamat ka
jo lamhe bhar ko hi chehra dikha dete to kya hota

ajab ye shauq hai galiyon mein teri roz aata hun
teri rahon mein hi ghar ko bana dete to kya hota

main apne zakhm khud hi dekh kar khud se ye kahta hun
wo hans kar tal jate hain saza dete to kya hota

hai un ki shairi ka bhi bahut charcha zabanon par
ghazal hum ko bhi wo 'haidar' suna dete to kya hota
