rishta kaise tutta hai khwab se tabir ka
aao dikhlaun tumhein ye khel bhi taqdir ka

ai musawwir hai yahi hasil teri tahrir ka
husn khud hi pairahan hai husn ki taswir ka

ban gaya hai istiara husn-e-alam-gir ka
aaina-dar-aina chehra meri tahrir ka

jaise jaise qaid ki miad ghatti jaegi
tang hota jaega halqa meri zanjir ka

ye kitab-e-dil hai quran-e-mohabbat hai huzur
marhala dar-pesh hai is husn ki tafsir ka

sach agar puchho to mere pir-o-murshid hain yahi
main aqidat-mand hun 'qaisar' janab-e-mir ka
