tari rahega soch pe wahshat ka bhut kya
tutega kisi taur ye shab ka sukut kya

padti nahin hai aankh ke sahil pe surkh dhup
karta main aarzuon ke lashe hanut kya

tum ne kaha to zahar bhi pina pada mujhe
ab is se badh ke dun tumhein sach ka subut kya

kaise kapas ke liye gandum ko chhod dun
mitti nahin hai bhuk to katun main sut kya

meri nazar bhi talib-e-didar-e-hir hai
malna padega jism pe mujh ko bhabut kya

'arshad' hamare hath se phislegi ek din
pahle bacha saka koi sanson ki hut kya
