sochti aankhen mujhe din kis ne aakhir kaun tha
main ne to dekha nahin mera musawwir kaun tha

sab agar mahsur the khud mein to kis ka tha hisar
sab agar majbur the khud se to jabir kaun tha

meri aankhon ke alawa kis ne dekha tha mujhe
apne baatin se ziyaada mujh pe zahir kaun tha

ho na ho tu ne hi kati hai zuban-e-jahl 'yas'
dusra tere siwa is fan ka mahir kaun tha
