nikali jae kis tarkib se taqrir ki surat
wo aaine ki surat aur main taswir ki surat

giraftar-e-mohabbat kar liya baaton hi baaton mein
tasalsul se numayan ho gai zanjir ki surat

ziyaada aaine se hai munawwar mushaf-e-ariz
aur is par khal-e-mushkin aaya-e-tathir ki surat

tere tewar badalte hi zamana ho gaya dushman
hilal-e-id bhi zahir hua shamshir ki surat

sitam ho jaega gar baal bhi beka hua us ka
nikal kar aah sine se gai hai tir ki surat

kabhi mithi nigahen hain kabhi tewar badalte hain
na marta hun na jita hun ye hai tazir ki surat

maza kya us but-e-be-pir se dil ke lagane ka
jo khalwat mein ho but mahfil mein ho taswir ki surat

khafa hote hi kuchh ka kuchh bhawon ka ho gaya naqsha
kabhi khanjar ki surat aur kabhi shamshir ki surat

jise mil jae khak-e-pak-e-dasht-e-karbala 'parwin'
palat kar bhi na dekhe wo kabhi iksir ki surat
