shauq-e-khwabida wo bedar bhi kar deta hai
hawas-e-zist se sarshaar bhi kar deta hai

husn-e-be-dagh ki bas ek jhalak dikhla kar
waqif-e-lazzat-e-takrar bhi kar deta hai

pahle wo dalta hai aag ke dariyaon mein
phir usi aag ko gulzar bhi kar deta hai

raat bhar karta hai wo din ke nikalne ki dua
subh-dam raushni mismar bhi kar deta hai

qissa-e-afw-o-guzarish ke tasalsul ke liye
be-khataon ko khata-kar bhi kar deta hai

khud hi rakhta hai diye tez hawa ki zad par
aur aandhi se khabar-dar bhi kar deta hai

kabhi sikhlata hai wo sulh-o-safai ke hunar
kabhi khud barsar-e-paikar bhi kar deta hai

kabhi karta hai nichhawar meri rahon mein phul
waqt mil jae to pur-khar bhi kar deta hai

inkisari ke sabhi raaz bata kar mujh ko
yak-ba-yak mail-e-pindar bhi kar deta hai

pahle karta hai wo aamada gunahon pe 'farid'
phir us ek baat ka izhaar bhi kar deta hai
