uthi hai jo qadmon se wo daman se adi hai
kya kya nigah-e-shauq pe zanjir padi hai

wo yas ka aalam hai ki har ek nazar par
mahsus ye hota hai judai ki ghadi hai

yun dekhiye to marhala-e-shauq hai yak gam
chaliye to yahi ek qadam rah kadi hai

har ek qadam par hai kisi yaad ka saya
har rahguzar mein koi diwar khadi hai

har ghunche ke chehre se ubharte hain tere naqsh
har gul mein tere husn ki taswir judi hai

kheli thi kabhi husn se tere nigah-e-shauq
itna hai tujhe yaad yahi baat badi hai

naseh teri baaton se kati hijr ki ye sham
ek aur fasana ki abhi raat padi hai

kya jaaniye kya tha tera andaz-e-'tabassum'
har dekhne wale ki nazar mujh pe padi hai
