ladao har kisi se yun na tum be-sakhta aankhen
kahin badnam na ho jaen shorat-yafata aankhen

murawwat rahm aur sharm-o-haya un mein nahin hoti
dikhane ke liye hoti hain jo khud-sakhta aankhen

kabhi khud band ho kar rah-e-dil masdud karti hain
kabhi deti chali jati hain dil tak rasta aankhen

kahin fitnagari se hain sukun-o-chain ki dushman
kahin amn-o-aman ki hain nishani fakhta aankhen

kabhi dil bhi tadapta hai duhai de ke aankhon ki
kabhi ro ro ke de jati hain dil ka wasta aankhen

nahin tab-e-nazara aur jalwon ki tamanna hai
kahin andhi na ho jaen khuda-na-khwasta aankhen

chala kuchh bhi na mera zor jab apni hi biwi par
dikhata rah gaya mein ho ke dil-bardashta aankhen

nazar lagne ka dar tha is liye bhi 'khwah-makhwah' main ne
hata len un ke rukh se ba-dil-e-na-khwasta aankhen

hasinon se nigahen 'khwah-makhwah' tum kyun ladate ho
kahin kamzor na ho jaen pension-yafta aankhen
