wo apne band-e-qaba kholti to kya lagti

wo apne band-e-qaba kholti to kya lagti
khuda ke waste koi kahe khuda-lagti
yaqin thi to yaqin mein sama gai kaise
guman thi to guman se bhi mawara lagti


agar bikharti to suraj kabhi nahin ugta
tera khayal ki wo zulf bas ghata lagti
tere mariz ko duniya mein kuchh nahin lagta
dawa lage na raqibon ki bad-dua lagti


hui hai qaid zamane mein raushni kis se
bhala wo jism aur us ko koi qaba lagti
lagi wo tujh si to aalam mein munfarid thahri
wagarna aam si lagti agar juda lagti
