wo mahakta hai jo khushbu ke hawalon ki tarah
is ko rakkha hai kitabon mein gulabon ki tarah

wo jo khwabon ke jazire mein nazar aata hai
mere idrak mein rahta hai kinaron ki tarah

ban ke ehsas jo dhadkan se lipat jata hai
sath rahta hai mohabbat mein khayalon ki tarah

dekhna khwab ki surat mein nazar aaega
wo jo palkon pe chamakta hai sitaron ki tarah

main ne khushbu ke libaade mein jise chuma tha
meri har sans mein shamil hai wo phulon ki tarah

wo mere sher ka ek misra-e-tar ho jaise
gungunati hun use aaj main giton ki tarah

itni achchhi thi mulaqat ki pahle din hi
dil mein 'afroz' basaya use sochon ki tarah
