sher jab khulta hai khulte hain maani kya kya
raste dete hain ek misra-e-sani kya kya

khatm hoti hai samundar pe kabhi sahra mein
raste chunti hai dariya ki rawani kya kya

pahle kirdar guzarta hai nazar se koi
mod leti hai phir aankhon mein kahani kya kya

ashk aankhon mein kasak dil mein nazar mein ummid
ishq deta hai mohabbat mein nishani kya kya

jaan leta hai kabhi jaan bacha leta hai
fitraten rakhta hai dariyaon ka pani kya kya

us ki aankhon ki shararat kabhi honton ka jamal
samne aati hain taswiren purani kya kya
