naqab rukh se kisi ne uthae hain kya kya
dil-o-nigah mein jalwe samae hain kya kya

wo aa rahe hain wo aae wo ham-kalam hue
tasawwuraat ki mahfil sajae hain kya kya

har imtihan mein hamin ek kaamyab hue
rah-e-wafa mein qadam dagmagae hain kya kya

nigah-e-naz utha dekh dil-figaron ko
teri janab mein saughat lae hain kya kya

dil-o-nazar ka andhera kisi tarah na gaya
charagh-e-dair-o-haram jagmagae hain kya kya

jigar ka dagh khalish dil ki karb aankhon ka
dayar-e-husn se inam pae hain kya kya

isi liye to meri shaeri ke charche hain
hikayat-e-dil-e-pur-khun sunae hain kya kya

wufur-e-gham se bujhe ja rahe hain lala-o-gul
hamare zakhm-e-jigar muskurae hain kya kya
