sachchai ki talkhi hai hum sada-bayanon mein
patthar ki hain buniyaaden shishe ke makanon mein

jo chaho wo le jao ehsas ki nagri se
khushiyan bhi hain aansu bhi aankhon ki dukanon mein

tum dip mohabbat ke palkon pe saja lena
bat jae na ye duniya tafriq ke khanon mein

ye be-sar-o-samani nakhchir bhi hanste hain
kuchh tir nae jodo bosida kamanon mein

hum ahl-e-sukhan daur-e-hazir ki numaish mein
har 'aib chhupa jaen sangit ki tanon mein

is rah-e-mohabbat se 'jawed' gurez achchha
takraoge bhatkoge sunsan chatanon mein
