mujhe qarar bhanwar mein use kinare mein
so kitni dur talak bahte ek dhaare mein

mujhe bhi pad gai aadat darogh-goi ki
wo mujh se puchhta rahta tha mere bare mein

ye karobar-e-mohabbat hai tum na samjhoge
hua hai mujh ko bahut faeda khasare mein

kahan raha wo guman ab ki hain zamana-shanas
ulajh ke rah gae zu-mani ek ishaare mein

ajib baat sahi khud ko dad-e-fan dena
kisi ke lams ki khushbu hai istiare mein
