visal-e-yar tamanna-e-kham hai shayad
ye daur-e-hijr abhi na-tamam hai shayad

jabin-e-ishq ne jaan pahli bar sajda kiya
tera nishan-e-qadam wo maqam hai shayad

main jis kitab ko har sham ro ke padhta hun
mere sanam ki zaban ka kalam hai shayad

tamam zer zabar pesh aur harfon ka
bara-e-soz-o-alam ehtimam hai shayad

bujha saka na main ashkon se dil ki aatish ko
mera fughan fughanon mein kham hai shayad

meri nigah mein jina sharaf se marna hai
teri nigah mein ye sab haram hai shayad

main aaj phir usi mitti pe sajda-rez hua
mere ghurur ka ye ikhtitam hai shayad

tumhaare ishq ki rudad sun ke lagta hai
tere sanam ka bhi 'naqqash' nam hai shayad
