nazar ke zawiye aksar mila ke dekhe hain

nazar ke zawiye aksar mila ke dekhe hain
unhen bhi husn ke jalwe dikha ke dekhe hain
jo aag tum ne lagai wo bujh nahin sakti
gham-e-firaq mein aansu baha ke dekhe hain


hamara 'ishq gham-e-dil ka aaina nikla
nigah-e-husn se parde utha ke dekhe hain
hazar bar raqibon ne rah-guzar mein teri
nuqush-e-pa-e-mohabbat mita ke dekhe hain


kuchh is tarah se mohabbat ki baat karte ho
na jaane kitne hi dil mein basa ke dekhe hain
hamari khwab-e-girani to kuchh nahin hoti
hasin khwab bhi khud ko jaga ke dekhe hain


kisi ki rah-e-mohabbat mein aaj tak 'qaisar'
charagh-ha-e-tamanna jala ke dekhe hain
