sulagti ret pe khema laga ke dekha hai
hamin ne dasht ko maskan bana ke dekha hai

hamare sher tumhein kis tarah samajh aaen
hamara haal kahan tum ne aa ke dekha hai

kuchh is tarah se bitai hain hijr ki raaten
ke jaise mausam-e-garma bita ke dekha hai

wahi bataega umr-e-hayat kitni hai
wo jis ne ret pe chehra bana ke dekha hai

unhen tha shauq-e-masihai hum bhi aashiq the
so hum ne apna gala bhi kata ke dekha hai

suna tha ishq mein hai sabr lazim-o-malzum
to intizar bhi palken bichha ke dekha hai

hamari aankhen kahengi na jaane kab hum se
kisi ne aaj hamein muskura ke dekha hai

hamare sar pe tha ilzam be-wafai ka
so apne aap ko apna bana ke dekha hai

ta'alluqat mein aane lagi kami 'hani'
tassubaat ne kya sar utha ke dekha hai
