us se kya khak ham-nashin banti
baat bigdi hui nahin banti

wo bani ibtida-e-ulfat mein
dam pe jo waqt-e-wapsin banti

aadmi sab farishte ban jate
aasman par agar zamin banti

meri surat bani to khak bani
qismat ai surat-afrin banti

wade karte hi kya wo aa jate
raat bhar zulf-e-ambarin banti

kash sunta na koi shor o fughan
dil ki ja chashm-e-surmagin banti

tu ne aise bigad dale hain
ek ki ek se nahin banti

na chamakti jo husn ki taqdir
kyun teri chand si jabin banti

para-e-jeb se mere ai kash
dast-e-wahshat ki aastin banti

bazm-e-duniya thi qabil-e-jannat
khub banti agar yahin banti

tab-e-nazuk ka lutf jab tha 'dagh'
nazninon mein naznin banti
