pichha hi nahin chhodti ghar bar ki khushbu
raste se ayan hai dar-o-diwar ki khushbu

kab kaise kahan se bani pur-pech gali mein
bechain kiye rahti hai asrar ki khushbu

main apne tasawwur mein hun khush-haal baradar
qadmon mein padi hai mere darbar ki khushbu

tum ajnabi qadmon se nikal jao musafir
pana hai kisi aur ko gulzar ki khushbu

ashkon ke jharoke mein bhi dar aai hai aksar
hairan tabassum mein basi yar ki khushbu

ek gul pe qanaat hai kahan bahti hawa ko
har-waqt liye phirti hai do-chaar ki khushbu

barson jo rahi dafn kisi zakhm-e-jigar mein
pael se ugi aaj wo jhankar ki khushbu

aawaz pe takiya na lagana kabhi 'jafar'
khamosh sada deti hai us par ki khushbu
