sarf chehra hi nazar aata hai aaine mein
aks-e-aina nahin dikhta hai aaine mein

silsila yaad ka jab zehn mein jag uthta hai
ek dariya sa umad aata hai aaine mein

apni aankhon ko kabhi ghaur se jab dekhta hun
nur chehra tera jag uthta hai aaine mein

rote rote jau kabhi padti hai us samt nazar
koi namnak diya jalta hai aaine mein

kabhi aisa bhi hua hai ki shab-e-furqat mein
aks ubhar kar tera kho jata hai aaine mein

taire chehre ki hansi dekh ke yun lagta hai
phul jaise koi khil uthta hai aaine mein

kya khabar kaisa lage aks jo bahar aa jae
us ko rahne do wahin achchha hai aaine mein

us mein jo duba kabhi wo na ubharne paya
maujzan ek siyah dariya hai aaine mein

aaina-khana mein kya hum se chhupa hai 'mamun'
hum ne kya kya na bhala dekha hai aaine mein
