nafrat ki aandhiyon ko mohabbat mein dhaal kar
tanha khadi hun dasht mein rishte sambhaal kar

mujh ko to tere dard bhi tujh se aziz hain
baithi hun dekh pyar se jholi mein dal kar

tabir dhundte hue rasta bhatak gain
khwabon samet phenk din aankhen nikal kar

shohrat kama rahe ho tum akhbar ki tarah
apne parae logon ki pagdi uchhaal kar

ek khush-guman aks ki bai'at se peshtar
khush-bakht aaine se to rishta bahaal kar

chhaya hua hai bagh mein khauf-o-hiras kyon
sahme hue gulab hain khushbu sambhaal kar

ya-rab kahan se late hain ye log hausla
kanton mein phenk dete hain phulon ko pal kar
