yak-ba-yak ye ho gae andaz kya
phir suni dil ne wahi aawaz kya

so gaya hans kar fana ki god mein
aur karta bhi koi jaan-baz kya

dard-e-hasti phir chamak uttha hai aaj
ho gai ghafil wo chashm-e-naz kya

dair o kaba hi pe kya mauquf hai
dil nahin hai jalwa-gah-e-naz kya

kakulen lahra rahi hain dam-ba-dam
baj raha hai tirgi ka saz kya

qahqahe ashk o tabassum aur fughan
zindagi kya zindagi ka raaz kya

un nigahon mein hai phir mehr-o-wafa
ruk sakegi waqt ki parwaz kya

hai faqat bedari-e-ehsas 'naqsh'
dastan-e-shauq ka aaghaz kya
