mohabbat ne kya kya na aanen nikalin
ki tar-e-qalam ne zabanen nikalin

hua hath us ka lahu se hinai
zi-bas us ne kushton ki jaanen nikalin

wo ladka tha jab tak ye saj-dhaj kahan thi
jawan hote hi us ne shanen nikalin

laga tir sa aa ke 'mani' ke dil par
jab in abruon ki kamanen nikalin

shubah ka guman tha na yaron ko jis ja
main wan lal o gauhar ki kanen nikalin

phisal hi gaya kilk-e-taswir-e-'mani'
kamar khinch kar junhi ranen nikalin

zahe kilk-e-sanat ki jis ne zamin par
bahaaren banain khazanen nikalin

gala dok mein garche tha 'mushafi' ka
par us par bhi do-chaar tanen nikalin
