mere lafzon se chali baat mere lafzon ki
tai hui mujh se mulaqat mere lafzon ki

main ne ye dil ke khazane se churae hue hain
kar nahin sakta koi baat mere lafzon ki

sher-dar-sher bithae gae masnad par sher
yun saja di gai baraat mere lafzon ki

us ne taswir ko taswir kiya aur le li
selfi ek ek mere sath mere lafzon ki

nazm par nazm sunane ki hui farmaish
yun pazirai hui raat mere lafzon ki

meri tahrir pe mazmun likhe jaane lage
sar pe padne lagi barsat mere lafzon ki

bhid ye sar pe nahin apne bitha sakti main
khinch len aap bhale lat mere lafzon ki

tohfatan tin kitaben use bhejin main ne
ho qubul us ko ye saughat mere lafzon ki

is siyahi se ubharti hai sawere ki kiran
dhalne lagti hai jahan raat mere lafzon ki

pairahan us ne mohabbat ke maani ko diye
mala pahnai lage hath mere lafzon ki

main ne ehsas ki bhatti se guzara hua hai
tum samajhte nahin ho baat mere lafzon ki

taj sar par hai magar panw mein baithi hui hun
mujh se unchi hai 'sahar' zat mere lafzon ke
