ek hasin ganw tha kanar-e-ab
kitna shadab tha dayar-e-ab

kya ajab be-niyaz basti thi
muflisi mein bhi ek masti thi

kitne dildar the hamare dost
wo bichaare wo be-sahaare dost

apna ek daera tha dharti thi
zindagi chin se guzarti thi

qissa jab yusuf o zulekha ka
mithe mithe suron mein chhidta tha

qasr shahon ke hilne lagte the
chaak sinon ke silne lagte the
