uchatti si nazar ke sath mubham sa payam aaya
kai mafhum le kar ek harf-e-na-tamam aaya

tasawwur ki nazar bhi jhuk gai tazim dene ko
takhayyul ke ufuq par kaun sa mah-e-tamam aaya

mukhatab main na tha lekin yahi ehsas hota hai
ki mujh tak bar bar un ki nigahon ka payam aaya

rahi jis ki nazar sayyaad ki ek ek harakat par
wahi kam-bakht tair adbada kar zer-e-dam aaya

tumhaari yaad jab aai to aai kaif-e-mai ban kar
tumhaara zikr jab aaya to ban kar daur-e-jam aaya

mubarak jazb-e-ulfat aaj to wo meri baalin par
ba-gharz-e-guftugu aaya ba-ummid-e-kalam aaya
