zara jalwa-e-kaif-asar dekhne de
utha de naqab ek nazar dekhne de

mera zauq-e-dil dekh kar dekhne de
dikha jalwa apna pata pa raha hun

utha parda phir hosh mein aa raha hun
zara be-khudi ka asar dekhne de

na chhup tu dikha kar jhalak ek zara si
mera dil bhi pyasa hai aankhen bhi pyasi

nazar bhar kar ai jalwa-gar dekhne de
rahe lakh pardon mein pahchanta hun

main roz-e-azal se tujhe jaanta hun
hijab-e-nazar dur kar dekhne de

tasawwur ko husn-e-haqiqat bana de
tasawwur hi mein ru-e-anwar dikha de

mujhe aaj tab-e-nazar dekhne de
main is ke siwa aur kya chahta hun

tujhe umr bhar dekhna chahta hun
hujum-e-tajalli agar dekhne de
